.

The safety and welfare of our junior players is of primary concern.

It is important that all those who are actively involved with the development of young players, particularly in the capacity Team Manager, Coach or Umpire, are fully acquainted with relevant Safety Guidelines and Codes of Practice which are issued by Governing bodies e.g. the England & Wales Cricket Board, the Association of Cricket Coaches, the Association of Cricket Umpires & Scorer’s, the Yorkshire Cricket Board etc.

Cricket is an intrinsically dangerous game and the elimination of all risk is impossible. Accidents will always happen. 
It is believed, however, that by following Safety Guidelines, the risk of serious injury to players and spectators can be significantly reduced.

When hiring indoor nets consideration should be given to evaluating whether the facilities  provide a safe environment?

The following SUBJECTS are published for the benefit of those directly concerned with supervising and arranging matters for junior players. In some cases the instructions given are supplementary to League/Competition Rules and the Laws of Cricket and should be strictly adhered to.

The sport is very proud of the efforts made by its countless volunteers who give so much of their time to assist in the running of clubs. However, it is important that clubs are aware of the realities of the world outside and take the necessary steps to recruit sensibly and have procedures in place to protect the young cricketer and adult volunteer.

Every club shall adhere to the ECB "SAFE HANDS" WELFARE OF YOUNG PEOPLE POLICY and follow requirements for recruiting, training, retaining and recognising the value of its adult volunteer. 
Clubs shall appoint a Club Welfare Officer suitably trained and able to oversee and administer the necessary procedures to safeguard the interests of club, young players and adult volunteers.

All coaches, umpires and adult scorer's, whether qualified or unqualified, paid or unpaid, MUST complete a CRB form and produce their "Enhanced Certificate" for scrutiny by the Club Welfare Officer, on request.
All other persons who provide their time and skills for cricket but do not fall into the afore-mentioned category of voluntary worker shall complete and sign a Self Declaration Form to be vetted by the Club Welfare Officer and processed/retained by him/her for safekeeping and future reference.
Team Managers and coaches are required to keep a record of their players personal details including next of kin, contact telephone numbers, medical conditions etc
