Child Welfare Policy:
Implementation of English Cricket Board Child Welfare Policy - (ECB CWP)
The ECB Child Welfare Policy “Safe Hands” has been written in consultation with the NSPCC and is there to protect young people, vulnerable adults and all the people working within local cricket clubs who deliver a service to the community on a voluntary basis.
In the society in which we now live, it is necessary to protect all our young players, vulnerable adults and the vast army of volunteers in local cricket clubs who give their time so willingly for the furtherance of Junior and Senior cricket.
The ECB CWP provides guidelines of “Best Practice” in relation to Child Welfare and protection throughout the game and emphasises the ECB’s firm commitment to ensuring that cricket provides a safe, friendly and fun environment for all.
Our aim at Golcar is to implement the ECB CWP to ensure that all children whatever their age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, ability or disability have the right to protection from abuse.
We at Golcar believe that the welfare of the child is paramount and wish therefore, to create a safe and friendly environment for all children by adopting the ECB CWP .
Child Protection Officers - (CPO)
The club have appointed Mr Brian Quarmby and Mr Paul Rothery as its Child Welfare Officers.
They have attended a Child Protection Workshop and are Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) screened.
Golcar Cricket Club will endeavour to:
(a) Adopt the ECB CWP using a common sense approach.
(b) Create a safe enjoyable environment for all young people taking part in cricket and social activities at the club.
(c) Ensure that all coaches or helpers are aware of the Child Protection Policy and have either been CRB screened, or completed Self Declaration Forms which will be held by the CPO.
Child Protection Problems
The CPO holds the following documentation:
(a) Parental Consent Forms.
(b) Photographic and Transport to Matches Consent Forms.
(c) Child Welfare Incident Forms.
(d) Self Declaration Forms and CRB Forms for coaches/helpers.
Any suspicious activity should be reported immediately to the CPO who will deal with the matter as required.
This may include reports to the County Welfare Officer, the Social Services or the Police.
