Sports equity monitoring

Whilst it is not compulsory that this section is completed the following paragraph explains why it is important.

Sport can and does play a major role in promoting the inclusion of all groups in society. However, inequalities have traditionally existed within sport, particularly in relation to gender, race and disability. Sport England is committed to promoting and developing sports equity, which is about fairness in sport, equality of access, recognising inequalities and taking steps to address them. By monitoring the profile of young people in sports clubs, national governing bodies of sport and Sport England can identify any issues relating to under-representation of different groups and can together develop strategies to ensure that all young people have the opportunity in the future to develop and progress in sport.

5. Transport to Matches and Practice Sessions

Hayes (Kent) Cricket Club policy is that parents or other responsible adults are responsible for transporting players to and from all matches and practice sessions. Therefore the Club will not be registering Private Vehicles for the transportation of individuals, in connection with any fixtures or practice sessions arranged by the Club. The implementation of this policy is not intended to exclude any player from participation and parents or guardians should contact the Club Welfare Officer if they have any problems with the transportation of players to matches or practice sessions.

6. Club Changing Room Policy

For players under the age of 16 playing in adult teams the following policy applies:

Colts uncomfortable with changing or showering with adults are under no obligation to do so and are advised to change and shower at home.

Parental consent must be given if Colts are to share changing facilities with adults.

If Colts are sharing changing facilities with adults, parents have the option to supervise them whilst they are changing. The Club will make reasonable efforts to arrange this.

7. Permission for the Use of Photographs and Recorded Images

Hayes (Kent) Cricket Club recognises the need to ensure the welfare and safety of all Young People in Cricket. As part of this commitment we will not permit photographs, video images or other images of Young People to be taken or used without the consent of the Parent/Guardian and the Colt.

Hayes (Kent) Cricket Club follow the guidance issued in ‘Safe Hands – Welfare of Young People in Cricket’ on the use of images of Young People which is available at http://www.ecb.co.uk/safehands.

Hayes (Kent) Cricket Club will take steps to ensure that these images are used solely for the purpose they are intended, which is the promotion and celebration of cricketing activities.

If photographs e.g. team or action shots, are submitted to the Press or published on Hayes (Kent) CC website or in our handbook individuals will not ordinarily be identified. Where a child or young person is identified it will only be with the explicit consent of parents.

Please note: Hayes (Kent) Cricket Club understands that there are circumstances under which a parent would not wish their child to be photographed. Whilst Hayes (Kent) Cricket Club will do all that it can to ensure the safety of children during photographed events, it is the responsibility of the parent concerned to ensure that if their child is not to be photographed and partakes in an activity and is by the nature of the activity inadvertently photographed or filmed, Hayes (Kent) Cricket Club cannot be held responsible.

We can arrange for formal training for coaches if people are interested but would be equally keen to have helpers on an informal basis too.
