Surrey Cricket Foundation

Cricket Clubs with Junior Sections and Affiliated Clubs should have a Safeguarding Officer at the Club.

Depending on what qualifications you hold there are two possible routes, please note you must select the correct option:

Qualified Coach & Safeguarding Officer

• Safeguarding and Protection Children (SPC) Course Certificate or Safeguarding Young Cricketers (SYC). SYC Courses are listed in the document section.
• SafeHands Workshop Course Certificate
• A Cricket Specific DBS Clearance

Safeguarding Officer Only

• Safeguarding and Protection Children (SPC) Course Certificate - When first qualifying you are expected to attend a face to face course. To book this please visit the Coaching UK or Active Surrey websites. You must provide evidence of your Safeguarding training (booking confirmation or certificate) when booking onto the SHW course. Please note we will consider other safeguarding qualifications in lieu of the SPC course but would ask you contact Alastair Hughes to check on whether your qualification is suitable.
• Safe Hands Workshop Course Certificate - We have several courses running throughout 2022. Please register via the links below to secure your spot.
• A Cricket Specific DBS Clearance

NB - When renewing your Safeguarding (SPC) qualification you can attend an online refresher via Coaching UK.

All these qualifications have a 3 year validity period.

If you have any questions relating to the courses please get in touch with Alastair Hughes.
