Safeguarding is everybody’s responsibility.
Whatever your role in cricket, everyone should understand the importance of keeping children, young people and adults safe.
Safeguarding Level 2 (SGL2)
This qualification replaces the Safeguarding for Specialist Roles qualification.
Safeguarding Level 2 is the new course from the Cricket Regulator safeguarding team on behalf of the ECB, which has replaced the old Safeguarding for Specialist Roles (SSR) courses. Robust safeguarding helps to keep our cricket community safe and welcoming. This course will provide the learner with what to look out for and how to respond to concerns.
Training for Club Safeguarding Officers
Club Safeguarding Officers need to complete three sets of training:
- Safeguarding Level 2.
- A 'top up' online module - 'Safeguarding for Committee Members and Club Safeguarding Officers'.
- A face-to-face ‘Safe Hands' workshop which is run by the local County Cricket Board (Devon Cricket Foundation).
Upon booking a face-to-face 'Safe Hands' workshop you will automatically be enrolled on the online modules.
These courses should be updated every three years.
