CARLTON CRICKET CLUB CHILD WELFARE POLICY

NOTES FOR PARENTS/CARERS COACHES & MANAGERS

Coaches, team managers and match officials (qualified or unqualified) have completed a Criminal Record Bureau check.  All other organisers will be asked to complete a Self Declaration Form.

This Club is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the well being of all its members.  The Club believes that it is important that members, coaches, administrators and parents associated with the Club should, at all times, show respect, be encouraged to be open at all times and to share any concerns or complaints that they may have about any aspect of the arrangements with the Organiser.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR JUNIOR CRICKETERS

You are expected to abide by the general rules of the competitions and matches, and by the Code of Conduct for Junior Cricketers as set out below.

  • All members must play cricket within the laws and in the spirit of the game.
  • All members must respect colleagues, opponents and officials.  Do not make derogatory comments or gestures about your colleagues or opponents.  Never try to intimidate the opposition by threats or excessive triumphialism.
  • Be polite to umpires and respect their decisions.  Do not show dissent!  Do not throw tantrums or cricket bats.  Such behaviour invites sanctions from club officials.
  • Members should keep to agreed timings for practice and matches or inform their coach or team manager at the earliest possible opportunity if they cannot play or are going to be late.
  • All members must wear the appropriate kit – properly!  Cricket whites and suitable trainers or cricket shoes should be worn for matches but tracksuits are permitted for practicing.
  • All players under the age of 18 years must wear helmets when batting and when standing up to the stumps when wicket keeping.

CODE OF CONDUCT FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS

  • Encourage your child to learn the laws of the game and to play within the spirit of those laws.
  • Discourage unfair play and disputes with officials/coaches.
  • Help your child to recognise good performance, not just results.
  • Never force your child to take part in any sport.
  • Set a good example by recognising fair play and by applauding the good performances of all.
  • Never punish or belittle a child for losing or making mistakes.
  • Publicly accept the judgement of officials without argument or comment.
  • Support your child’s involvement and help them to enjoy cricket and to develop within it.
  • Use correct and proper language at all times.
  • Do not forget, children are involved in organised sport for their enjoyment and not yours
