Hampshire Cricket Board Ltd holds an annual Safeguarding Forum for club welfare officers and chairs. The aim of the event is to provide additional support for club welfare officers and share the latest developments on safeguarding in cricket. Details of the 2020 forum will appear here.
Where clubs do not have a trained welfare officer, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) advises that legal responsibility lies with club executive officers so this invitation is relevant to all chairs of clubs with junior members aged under 18*.
