Yorkshire County Cricket Club is committed to ensuring all children participating in cricket have a safe and positive experience. We recognise that everyone (regardless of age, gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, ability or disability) have the right to have fun and be protected from harm in a safe environment. We adopt and implement the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) “Safe Hands Policy” which is Cricket’s Policy for Safeguarding Children. We also support ECB Inspiring Generations vision, to embed safeguarding in everything we do, delivering cricket to a safe and consistent standard, where everyone understands our organisation’s and their own personal safeguarding responsibilities.

Children are the future of our sport so it is vital that they experience cricket in safe, friendly, and enjoyable surroundings so they can have fun, feel safe and thrive.
