The ECB have launched their new online safeguarding training courses which provide an opportunity for everyone at your club to undertake safeguarding training relevant to their role.
These courses replace the ECB Safeguarding Young Cricketers (SYC) course, which has now been discontinued.

Club Safeguarding Officers are required to attend in-person specialist training every three years. To find and book on to a local course, Click Here
Safeguarding for Specialist Roles
These new courses are designed to be more in-depth than the basic Safeguarding Induction course (further details below) and forms the foundation for individuals who hold a specialist role within cricket. The new courses take around 60-minutes to complete and are aimed at those who want and need more knowledge and information on effective safeguarding within your club. The courses are free to complete.
Those individuals in cricket who hold a specialist role are required to complete the one-hour course (worth 80% of their learning), as well as the shorter, specialist module relevant to their role (20% of their learning). Individuals are welcome to complete all four specialist modules if they wish and all are free of charge.

If someone at your club has more than one role within a club, we recommend they sign up to the course in which they do the most volunteering.
All courses can be accessed via our website Yorkshire Cricket Board or you click on the links above for each specific course.
At the bottom of this page you will find the ECB Specialist Role FAQ document should you have any questions.
Safeguarding Induction Course
The ECB have introduced a new Safeguarding Induction course which is available to everyone at your club, free of charge. This may be of interest to parents, players, members or volunteers. This training will take around 30 minutes to complete and will provide the following:
- Advice on how to create a safe cricket environment
- How to recognise something that might not be right
- How to respond
You can register for this training course here.
It would be great if you can share this update within your club, allowing more people to gain a good understanding of the safeguarding roles and their responsibilities within cricket.
