Safeguarding Officers

ALL Affiliated Clubs and Leagues require a compliant Safeguarding Officer. Safeguarding Officers need to achieve the following accreditation criteria:

1. Safeguarding Level 2 Qualification Summary - Safeguarding Level 2 (SGL2) - Middlesex in the Community

2. Safeguarding Level 3 Qualification (Safe Hands Workshop)

3. A current Cricket Specific DBS Clearance

Safeguarding Levels 2 & 3 are valid for 3 years.

To maintain your DBS status, you must register for the Update Service within 30 days of receiving your results. Failure to do so requires a new DBS application when your current one expires.

NOTE: The ECB DBS team will periodically send a short questionnaire to Update Service users. You must complete this form to confirm your role and re-check your DBS status, or your DBS will expire, requiring a new application.

For further information relating to the above please contact Amber Wright at [email protected] or call our safeguarding number, 07561 853999.
