Safeguarding Reporting Concerns
What to do if you have a concern:
The Cheshire Cricket Board ensures all suspicions, concerns and allegations are taken seriously and dealt with swiftly and appropriately. We ensure access to confidential information relating to children and adult safeguarding matters, is restricted to those who need to know, in order to safeguard them. This would include the County and Club Safeguarding Officer and appropriate external authorities, such as the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO), as specified within the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) safeguarding procedures.
There are a number of ways to report a concern:
-To your Club or County Safeguarding Officer
