Grappenhall Cricket Club is affiliated to the England and Wales Cricket Board, and as such, has to comply with a number of accredited procedures to ensure the delivery of safe cricketing practices to our members. One of these accreditations is called ClubMark. This accreditation sets out a significant number of requirements that each ClubMark club must abide by, and it helps to shape effective running of a local community cricket club.
Grappenhall Cricket Club first obtained its ClubMark accreditation in August 2008 and the club works hard each year to main the standards expected of us, but both you, our members, and of the England and Wales Cricket Board. As part of our ClubMark accreditation, Grappers haws a number of Safeguarding practices in place, including having our own Safeguarding Officer. The clubs Safeguarding Officer is Neil Titchard, and his phone number is 07885 226170.
The clubs safeguarding officer works with the clubs Management Committee to ensure the safety of all children and young people involved with Grappenhall Cricket Club. This includes making sure all relevant officers, captains and coaches have all undertaken an annual DBS check and that where appropriate, coaching qualifications are in place. Our Safeguarding Officer is available to provide any support required to our coaches, and where necessary, is available for parents to discuss any concerns they may have about the club or any individual.
A little more about ECB ClubMark:
ClubMark status is only given to clubs whose junior sections meet stringent tests on the quality of their coaching, the safety of their environment for children and their commitment to youngsters of all abilities and ages. ClubMark also focusses on the effective management of the club.
The accreditation is reviewed on a 3 year rolling basis. It is important that we maintain this accreditation, and all members are required to be aware of the ClubMark information displayed on the notice board in the players entrance, and do their bit in helping us achieve our aim. It is our intention to maintain this accreditation to the highest possible standard throughout our daily practices.
Achievement of this accreditation is a reward for all the hard work put in by those involved in the ClubMark process, and is proof that Grappenhall Cricket Club is a safe place for your children to participate in cricket.
In achieving ClubMark, the club have committed to the following;
· Having an Open and Non Discriminatory Constitution
· Have adopted the “ECB Safe Hands – Welfare of Young People in cricket” Policy
· Having Child Protection Policies & Procedures (including Child Welfare Officer)
· Have adopted a Health & Safety Policy
· Have a clear Code of Conduct for Players, Members and Guests
