SAFEGUARDING
Oxfordshire Cricket is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and adults participating. We acknowledge our duty of care and ensure our safeguarding practices reflect both statutory responsibilities and government guidance, whilst encouraging best practice within the sport. Our policy, procedures and practice incorporate the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) requirements as documented in the game’s ‘Safe Hands’ Policy and Safeguarding Adults Policy, as well as our own (see Policies section below)
We are clear that cricket is a game for everyone. We firmly believe that everyone involved has the right to enjoy the game in an environment safe from abuse and harm of any kind. We recognise that a positive cricket experience is essential to the success of the game, and we prioritise developing the right environment for all those involved ahead of individual and/or club performance.
We recognise our collective and individual safeguarding responsibilities and accountabilities and commit to:
- Implementing preventative safeguarding measures and creating safe and enjoyable cricket settings.
- Having a clear, simple process for reporting concerns, whether you are a young person, coach or adult.
- Ensuring safeguarding concerns regarding children and adults at risk are managed appropriately and thoroughly in conjunction with the ECB, Statutory agencies and other organisations as appropriate.
