    Child Protection Policy

    In line with many other areas of cricket, ACU&S has agreed to adopt the ECB Child Protection Policy "Safe Hands". As stated on the Membership application, your membership of ACU&S is subject to your satisfactory completion of a Criminal Records Bureau check. When your application has been processed, you will be sent the CRB form and instructions on how to complete it - if you have any queries at all, contact the ACU&S Administration Manager.

    This policy and check not only help us in confirming that you are a suitable person to be involved with young persons but also will, providing you follow the Code of Conduct, protect you from spurious allegations - the information you provide is no more than you are required to give when opening a new bank account and will be treated in the strictest confidence.

    Please help us to allow all young people to enjoy cricket without fear.
