Child Welfare is a Cricket Wales Priority
15th January 2015
| Mallory Gray
Each League, Association and Club is expected to appoint a Child Welfare Officer (CWO) to oversee Child Welfare policies insofar as they affect their club. The CWOs should be DBS checked (within the last three years), have attended a
Safeguarding Children course and should have attended the bespoke course for cricket,
Safe Hands. Current CWOs will need to repeat these courses every three years.
Ieuan and his team have arranged a large number of
Safe Hands courses as follows:
The courses are just £20, the cost of which
can be covered as it is understood through an advance application through
Community Chest.

Please
see the below circulation from the NSPCC about a new initiative they
have launched.
Ieuan watkins commented, "I have to say I think this is fantastic and I would
encourage you to circulate this throughout your leagues and throughout
the Cricket World."
The NSPCC is launching a public education campaign, called Share Aware,
to help parents keep their children safe online. The campaign is aimed
at parents and carers of children aged 8-12 – the age at which they
start doing more online, become more independent and use a greater range
of devices. The campaign aims to encourage parents and carers to
understand online safety and to have conversations with their children
about keeping safe.
