Christleton CC is committed to ensuring all Children (i.e all persons under the age of 18) participating in cricket have a safe and positive experience.

We will do this by:

Recognising all children have the right to have fun and be protected from harm;
ensuring a welcoming, safe, and fun experience for children;
adopting ECB policies and guidelines;
having a fully qualified Club Welfare Office (CWO), who’s contact details are available;
ensuring all club officials are recruited and appointed in line with ECB guidelines and relevant legislation;
ensuring all club officials are provided with support, through education and training;
ensuring everyone has the opportunity to voice any concerns (about possible suspected child abuse/neglect, and/or about poor practice) to the Club Welfare Officer;
ensuring all suspicions, concerns and allegations are taken seriously and dealt with swiftly and appropriately; and
welcoming children with disability – recognising they have particular vulnerability to abuse and neglect.
