RECRIWTIO MWY DIOGEL
I gael manylion am ein hymrwymiad i recriwtio mwy diogel gweler yma
diogelu
Mae Criced Cymru yn credu bod Diogelu yn elfen hanfodol sy’n ganolog i bopeth a wnawn. Mae gan bob plentyn, person ifanc ac oedolyn yr hawl i deimlo’n ddiogel, a chymryd rhan lawn ym mhopeth a wnânt, ac mae hynny’n golygu sicrhau ein bod â’r bobl iawn yn gweithio o fewn ein sefydliad, drwy ddilyn proses recriwtio gadarn a diogel. Mae Criced Cymru’n gwneud ei orau glas i wneud criced yng Nghymru’n lle diogel a phleserus i ‘bawb’ allu chwarae’r gêm ar bob lefel.
Mae Criced Cymru wedi ymrwymo i ddarparu cyfleoedd cyfartal. Er y byddwn bob amser yn penodi ar sail teilyngdod, byddem yn annog ceisiadau yn arbennig gan grwpiau a chymunedau sydd heb gynrychiolaeth ddigonol ym myd criced – yn enwedig merched neu bobl o gefndiroedd ethnig amrywiol, neu rai sydd ag anabledd.
