Policies

Every session safe, welcoming and respectful

Everything Cricket Arena runs follows two documents: our Safeguarding Policy and our Code of Conduct. Here is what they stand for, and how to raise a concern.

Safeguarding

Keeping children and young people safe

Every activity we run for under-18s follows our Safeguarding Policy, based on ECB Safe Hands and national guidance. The welfare of the child always comes first.

  • Coaches and volunteers working with children are DBS-checked and safeguarding trained.
  • A Designated Safeguarding Officer and Deputy oversee safeguarding across everything we do.
  • Photos are only used with consent, and we never publish a child's full name alongside their photo.

Raise a concern

If you're worried about someone

Speak to the lead coach at the session, or send us a message and ask for our Designated Safeguarding Officer. Anyone can raise a concern, and anyone who raises one in good faith is supported.

Code of Conduct

How we expect everyone to behave

Our Code of Conduct applies to everyone at every Cricket Arena activity, on and off the pitch and online.

  • Respect for coaches, officials, staff and each other.
  • Everyone treated with dignity. No discriminatory language of any kind.
  • No alcohol, drugs, smoking, vaping or weapons at any activity.

Breaking the Code can lead to removal from our activities. How we look after personal information is set out in our Privacy Notice.
