DBS

The England and Wales Cricket Board and Worcestershire Cricket Foundation are firmly committed to creating a safe and enjoyable environment for children to enjoy the game.

Key to this is the recruitment and vetting of the many invaluable individuals who create many rewarding experiences in cricket.

All organisations working with children have safeguarding responsibilities and clear requirements placed upon them by legislation and guidance. The roles in cricket that require ECB vetting are:

Safeguarding Officer (Club, League, County)

Volunteer Co-ordinator

Coach (volunteer or paid, assistant or lead)

Umpire

Junior Supervisor

Colt/Junior Manager

Age Group Manager

Open-Age Team Captain

First Aider / Physiotherapist / Medical Support

ECB DBS checks have now moved to an online system – there are no paper applications involved.

Excellent delivery

Excellent delivery of well thought through activity sessions for those living with dementia and their carers. Well received because the sessions were made fun with no expectations. However everyone joined in and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity. Thank you.
