Safeguarding Courses

Training for club Safeguarding Officers and Committee Members

The ECB require Club Safeguarding Officers (CSO) to complete two sets of training for then and their club to be compliant:

• 'Safe Hands' face to face workshop which is run by Derbyshire Cricket Foundation Ltd (DCF)
• Safeguarding Level 2 (SGL2)
• This is a free online course. (This has replaced the SSR and SYC courses)

The above courses are valid for 3 years for completion, and must then be renewed to remain compliant.

All CSO's must also have a current ECB DBS and should be on the DBS Update Service- completing an annual recheck.

If you are a new CSO, both courses and the ECB DBS must be completed prior to the start of the season. It is preferable to do the SGL2 course before the Safe hands course and we would suggest that this is done as soon as you can if you need to do it.

Safeguarding Level 2 Course

The ECB have introduced the Safeguarding Level 2 (SGL2) on-line courses which forms the foundation for individuals who hold a specialist role within cricket. This course is a direct replacement of the Safeguarding for Specialist Roles and Safeguarding Young Cricketers (SYC) course, although the format has changed, and only needs completing once the SSR/SYC has expired.

The new courses are aimed at those who want and need more knowledge and information on effective safeguarding within your club. The courses are free to complete.

Those individuals in cricket who hold a specialist role should complete the one-hour course and the course assessment to get a certificate in the 'Safeguarding' section. You can access your E-learning account and use the Single Sign On by clicking here
