The ECB require Club Safeguarding Officers (CSO) to attend two sets of training for them and the club to be compliant:
Every three years, the requirements above must be updated.
All CSO’s must also have a current ECB DBS and should be on the DBS Update Service.
If you are a new CSO then to be fully trained before next season both courses and the ECB DBS must be completed. 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.
Our Safe Hands courses for Winter 24/25 are now all complete. If you are still looking to complete a course, please email safeguarding@dcfcricket.com for further assistance.
Please check back later in the year for our Winter 25/26 courses.
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 course ia 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; it also will update the Safe Hands Management System that a person is compliant.
