Recording and Reporting Low-Level Concerns
Yorkshire Cricket Foundation is keen to ensure that people across Yorkshire involved in Cricket are aware of what low-level concerns are and how to report them.
What is a low-level Concern?
A low-level concern is a concern about behaviour that doesn't meet the threshold of harm but
is still inconsistent with a club's code of conduct or values.
Low-level concerns can be about behaviour that is inappropriate at work or outside of work. They can also be about behaviour that causes a sense of unease or a "nagging doubt".
Low-level concerns are different from allegations, which are concerns that meet the harm threshold. However, multiple low-level concerns can add up to form a pattern that meets the harm threshold
- All low-level concerns must be reported to the Cricket Regulator via their online report form: Clue Webform
- Reporting low-level concerns allows poor behaviour and/or poor practice to be addressed - supporting our mission to create a safer culture across cricket
- Failure to report low-level concerns enables poor practice to develop into abusive practice – putting those involved at a higher risk of abuse and/or harm
- Recording low-level concerns is important – identifying a pattern of behaviour for an individual may highlight a significant risk of abuse and/or harm to others, which in turn would meet the harm threshold for a referral
- For support with managing low-level concerns at your Club, get in touch with the Yorkshire Safeguarding Team: safeguarding@yorkshireccc.com
