We are pleased to launch ‘Safeguarding for Specialist Roles’, the ECB’s new online safeguarding course.

The new course, ‘Safeguarding for Specialist Roles’ replaces Safeguarding Young Cricketers and is designed to support individuals in cricket who are working with children and young people. ‘Safeguarding for Specialist Roles’ is made up of one 60-minute module, suitable for everybody, whatever their role in cricket and four shorter bolt-on modules:

Safeguarding For Captains and Team Managers

Safeguarding For Coaches and Activators

Safeguarding For Committee Members and CSO’s

https://booking.ecb.co.uk/d/6lqd2k/4W

Safeguarding For Umpires and Scorers

Individuals in cricket are invited to complete the one-hour module, followed by the shorter module that best reflects their role. Individuals are welcome to complete all four bolt-on modules if they wish. Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility, and the new course aims to provide everyone in cricket with knowledge and advice to create a safe environment and respond appropriately to concerns.
