Club Welfare Officers (CWOs) need to complete the Safe Hands and Safeguarding and Protecting Children (SPC) workshops every three years. Courses take place during the spring and will appear on this page once details have been confirmed.
Such a qualification may mean you do not need to complete a further Safeguarding and Protecting Children (SPC) course. In this instance please contact the County Welfare Officer (details below).
As well as attending our own workshops, SPC courses are also available by clicking on the logo below:
Club Welfare Officers who have previously attended a face to face course can renew online: click here for details (cost currently £13.99).
Coaches working with players under 18 (as at 31 August) must obtain or renew their safeguarding qualification every three years.
To renew Safeguarding Young Cricketers (SYC) online and for free, sign up and ECB will send you confirmation in order to take the course.

The County Welfare Officer in Hampshire is Helen Wheeler, who can be contacted via email and / or by telephone 07793 047324.
The directors and professional staff of Hampshire Cricket Board Ltd invited Club Welfare Officers to particpate in our first annual Safeguarding Forum on Tuesday 21st November 2017.
The purpose of what is to become an annual event was to share the latest developments on safeguarding in cricket, including the launch of online DBS (formerly CRB) checks.
Where clubs do not have a trained welfare officer (see above), advice is that legal responsibility lies with club executive officers so the invitation included all club chairs and clubs without a junior section but with junior members (i.e. aged under 18 on 31 August).
