Lewes Priory Cricket Club is committed to the safeguarding and protection of all children who play cricket with the club. The Club endorses and supports the ECB guidelines on safeguarding and protecting children as detailed in the ECB publication ‘Safe Hands’. It takes seriously its duty of care to all children to play cricket in a safe and enjoyable environment.
Coaches and club members who come into regular contact with children, in a position of trust, are all subject to an enhanced criminal records bureau disclosure. Club coaches are, or are in the process of becoming, qualified to coach via the latest excellent UK sport qualifications. These qualifications are moderated to a national standard. This also ensures that coaches are bound by a common code of practice as stipulated by the ECB Coaches Association.
The club takes every reasonable care to ensure best practice and equity in the coaching and playing of cricket. ECB guidelines on all issues which involve junior cricketers are followed. (E.g. Guidelines regarding juniors who play in open age adult cricket, guidelines regarding safe limits for fast bowlers). The club has been recognised by the ECB ‘club mark’ of quality, which emphasises as one of its themes good child protection systems.
The club elects a club welfare officer (CWO) who has undergone the requisite training stipulated by the ECB. He/she is the point of contact for all child protection issues.
The current CWO is listed under club officers.
