Purley on Thames Cricket Club has successfully achieved Sport England's Clubmark, which is awarded to clubs by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB).
Clubmark is a cross-sport recognition of sports clubs that are committed to providing a safe, effective, child friendly environment.
By maintaining our Clubmark status is required to present evidence and demonstrate implementation and impact across four different themes, reflected in the production of a Club Development Plan.
The four themes are:
1) Duty of Care and Safeguarding Children
2) The Cricket Programme
3) Knowing your club and and its Community - One Game
4) Club Management
Clubmark is an acknowledgement that we take these issues seriously and that we are striving to provide a high quality and welcoming environment for young participants in the sport.
