Good Practice, Poor Practice and Abuse
Maltby Cricket Club has a Code of Conduct, which should be adopted and adhered to by all Cricket Volunteers and Staff. We are committed to adopting the code and ensuring the following:
- All Club Members understand the Code of Conduct.
- All Club Members are familiar with the policies and procedures if the Code of Conduct is not adhered to.
- The Club Constitution reflects the adoption and management of the Code of Conduct and any relevant procedures, for example the ECB Complaints and Discipline Procedure.
Code of Conduct for Cricket Staff and Volunteers *¹
The following Code of Conduct is to be adopted by all Cricket Coaches and Volunteers working with young children. We will:
- Respect the rights, dignity and worth of every person within the context of Cricket.
- Treat everyone equally and do not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender, religion, race, sexual orientation or disability.
- If you see any form of discrimination do not condone it or allow it to go unchallenged.
- Place the well-being and safety of the Young Person above the development of performance.
- Develop an appropriate working relationship with Young People, based on mutual trust and respect.
- Ensure that physical contact is appropriate and necessary and is carried out within recommended guidelines with the Young Person’s full consent and approval.
- Always work in an open environment (e.g. avoid private or unobserved situations and encourage an open environment).
- Do not engage in any form of sexually related contact with a Young Player *². This is strictly forbidden as is sexual innuendo, flirting or inappropriate gestures and terms.
- Know and understand the ECB Welfare of Young People Policy and Procedures.
- Respect Young People’s opinions when making decisions about their participation in Cricket.
- Inform Players and Parents of the requirements of Cricket.
Code of Conduct for Cricket Staff and Volunteers *¹
- Be aware of and report any conflict of interest as soon as it becomes apparent.
- Display high standards of language, manner, punctuality, preparation and presentation.
- Do not smoke, drink or use banned substances whilst actively working with Young People in the Club. This reflects a negative image and could compromise the safety of the Young People.
- Do not give Young People alcohol when they are under the care of the Club.
