Here at Oxfordshire Cricket, we take Safer recruitment seriously. Please see our Safer recruitment Policy for further guidance. LINK
It is essential that cricket clubs follow safer recruitment guidance to ensure all staff and volunteers in cricket are suitable for their role, appropriately vetted and supported by their club.
The roles in cricket that require an ECB DBS check are:
- Age Group Team Manager, All Stars / Dynamos Children’s Activator, All Stars / Dynamos Children’s Helper, Assistant Coach, Captain / Vice captain, Club Safeguarding Officer, Coach, County Safeguarding Manager, Junior Supervisor, League Safeguarding Officer, Physiotherapist, Safeguarding Recruiter, Team Manager, Umpire, Volunteer Coordinator
- Children’s Cricket Agent, Children’s Cricket Talent Scout, Children Academy Director, Disability Cricket Manager, Education Advisor, Medical Staff, Personal Development Manager, Psychologist, Strength/Conditioning Coach
If anyone in your club requires an ECB DBS, contact your Club Safeguarding Officer to initiate the process. Once your application is initiated, you will receive an email with easy-to-follow instructions to help you make your application. Each club will have a DBS verifier for you to refer to. When the DBS have concluded their checks, you will receive a paper copy of your certificate in the post.
Each club should have a DBS verifier

We highly recommend you sign up to the Update Service to avoid repeating the application process each year. For further information on the DBS process, visit the ECB website: https://www.ecb.co.uk/about/policies/safeguarding/safer-recruitment
