Middlesex County Cricket Club (MCCC) and Middlesex in the Community (MITC) are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults, including our talented and elite cricketers. We acknowledge our duty of care and ensure our safeguarding practices reflect both statutory responsibilities and government guidance, whilst encouraging best practice within the sport.
Our policy, procedures and practice incorporate the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) requirements as documented in the games ‘Safe Hands’ Policy and Safeguarding Adults Policy.
We are clear that cricket is a game for everyone. We firmly believe that everyone involved has the right to enjoy the game in an environment safe from abuse and harm of any kind. We recognise that a positive cricket experience is essential to the success of the game, and we prioritise developing the right environment for all those involved ahead of individual and/or club performance.
