Safeguarding & Welfare Policy

We recognise our moral and legal responsibility to safeguard children from harm and abuse. In partnership with X2 Consult, a leading safeguarding and child protection consultancy, we have developed comprehensive policies and procedures to promote good practice and ensure the safety of all participants.

Policy Statement

Jackson Cricket is committed to:

Paramount Welfare: The welfare of the child is our top priority.
Inclusive Participation: All children, regardless of age, culture, ability, gender, language, racial origin, religious belief, or sexual identity, have the right to participate in cricket in a fun and safe environment.
Protection from Harm: We take all reasonable steps to protect children from harm, discrimination, and degrading treatment, respecting their rights, wishes, and feelings.
Responsive Action: All suspicions and allegations of poor practice or abuse are taken seriously and addressed swiftly and appropriately.
Qualified Personnel: All Jackson Cricket coaches and external experts working with children are selected based on their suitability and are provided with guidance and training in good practice and child protection procedures.
Collaborative Efforts: Working in partnership with parents and children is essential for effective child protection.
Continuous Improvement: We regularly monitor and review our policies and procedures, updating them every three years or as needed based on organisational or legislative changes.

Liability Disclaimer: Jackson Cricket and its staff are not liable for any losses or additional expenses incurred by participants or their parents/guardians due to injury, sickness, strikes, war, or other causes beyond our control.
Missed Sessions: While we strive to accommodate attendees unable to attend specific training sessions by offering alternative sessions, this may not always be possible due to capacity or scheduling constraints.
Session Cancellations: If Jackson Cricket must postpone a session (e.g., due to coach illness or unforeseen issues), we will reschedule. If the rescheduled session cannot be attended, Jackson Cricket is not liable for compensation.
Programme Modifications: As part of our ongoing, progressive, and elite programme, we reserve the right to modify the programme due to unforeseen circumstances.
Complaints Procedure: To lodge a complaint, please contact us by email or phone. We will respond within 72 hours, with the full procedure potentially taking up to two weeks. A detailed copy of our complaints procedure is available upon request.
Payment Policy: Full payment must be received before the start of the programme. Failure to do so may result in the loss of your child's place and any payments made. Any agreed-upon split payment arrangements must be adhered to; otherwise, it may result in expulsion from Jackson Cricket.
