Child Wellbeing and Protection Officers

Club Child Wellbeing and Protection Officers are vital members of the club and key to making an environment safe, welcoming and friendly for children to enjoy the game of cricket.

 

Why do clubs need a Child Wellbeing and Protection Officer?

Whilst everyone is responsible for safeguarding, the Club Child Wellbeing and Protection Officer will make sure the policies and procedures are in place, and that everyone who will be working with children are a PVG Scheme member.

They are the person that others come to if they have concerns, and having attended specific training, will know what to do in order to assist, or who to ask for further help.

 

Training for Club Child Wellbeing and Protection officers

Club Child Wellbeing and Protection Officers need two sets of initial training as follows:

    • Attend the Child Wellbeing & Protection in Sport course
    • Attend the Child Wellbeing & Protection Officer’s course
    • They must also be a PVG Scheme member through their Club

Every three years, the three requirements above should be updated.

To enquire about upcoming workshops please contact  childprotection@cricketscotland.com, your local authority or refer to sportscotland website.
