ECB Accredited Club status
ECB Accredited Club status (previously known as Clubmark) is a scheme for cricket clubs that shows that a club is sustainable, well run and provides the right environment for its members.
Accredited Club status also means your club is recognised as a safe, rewarding and fulfilling place for participants of all ages, as well as assuring parents and carers that they are choosing the right option for their young people.
This new programme will begin with a pilot phase in 2026 for a select group of clubs, followed by a full launch in 2027.
In order to gain ECB Accredited Club Status, clubs will need to provide evidence in relation to:
Club Constitution
Committee structure and meetings
Accounts and finance
Adoption of ECB Safe Hands Policy and Anti-Discrimination Code
Club insurance
Compliance on the SHMS
The support was vital
Having the support from Callum and Alex from Worcestershire Cricket Foundation was vital in kick-starting our Women and Girls section. They delivered training to our group early on and have been a great sounding board for me as we continue to develop our teams.
