Ilford Cricket Club - Welfare and Safeguarding Policy

Ilford Cricket Club

Club Welfare and Safeguarding Policy

We are a community recreational cricket club with an ethos of care and support to our members. Membership is conditional on the acceptance of two charters; one for Members and the other for their Family, which require compliance with several important obligations. The Welfare Officer provides the eyes and ears of the welfare process. Police checks and other references are required for most volunteer roles and the club reserves the right to seek these for any member. Zero tolerance is practised in relation to breaches in some obligations, particularly in relation to the welfare of children and vulnerable adults.


A high level of awareness of the Club Welfare and Safeguarding Policy and role of The Safeguarding Officer is required.

Club members and their families are invited to comment on this Club Policy which will be periodically updated to reflect latest welfare practice including the procedures required to implement policy and evidence of compliance.
