 Safeguarding & Policies 

We are delighted to announce that our ECB Clubmark accreditation has been confirmed for 2019-2022. Congratulations to all coaches and volunteers for this achievement and for all that they do to promote cricket locally. Having a network of safe, family friendly and well organised clubs is vital for the future of the game and achieving Clubmark status shows that we are at the forefront of this.

What is Clubmark

Clubmark is the only national cross sports quality accreditation scheme for clubs with junior sections. It is built around a set of core criteria which ensure that accredited clubs operate to a set of consistent, accepted and adopted minimum operating standards. Sport England recognises and values the commitment made by sports clubs to develop high quality, welcoming environments for young participants. The development of clubs that encourage young people to take-up sport, improve their talents and give them the option to initiate and maintain life-long participation in sport is an essential part of our work to support the sporting infrastructure in England.

OD Cuaco CC gained Clubmark accreditation in September 2009 and became a Focus Club Community Cluster in November 2009. The Focus Club nomination gives us additional responsibilities for encouraging cricket in the local area especially with local schools. As part of this we have built a partnership with Langley Park Boys School to share facilities and provide opportunities for mutual benefit. This partnership will continue to evolve over the coming years.

One of the main commitments with Clubmark is that OD Cuaco cricket club demonstrates that it is a safe place for young people to enjoy cricket. Part of this demonstration is the commitment and adherence to a set of policies designed to make sure that young cricketers are able to develop in a safe and protective environment. The following documents explain our policies in this respect and are on display in the clubhouse throughout the cricket season. We have included downloadable copies below for access anywhere.

OD Cuaco Cricket Club holds records for senior members, junior members and

their parents/guardians, vice preseidents and officials whom receive regular

communication from us by email. The Club has appropriate practices in place for
