At Didcot Cricket Club (DCC) we are very proud of our growing and thriving Juniors section. It is vital we maintain the highest standards of safeguarding to ensure that the children and young people at Didcot Cricket club can take part in a safe, friendly, secure, and enjoyable environment.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. All members of DCC, whether players or nonplaying members, will understand their role in ensuring a safe space for our younger players.

Keeping everyone safe within our game is upheld by the ECB policy. The link for the ECB
Safehands policy is here: (ECB-Safe-Hands-Policy-2023.pdf ).

Oxfordshire County Cricket provide guidance and support at club level. Should any matters require escalation, Vicki Selby, County Safeguarding Manager for the Oxfordshire County Cricket Safeguarding Team can be reached via safeguarding@oxoncb.com
