Our aim is to promote cricket for all in a friendly and enjoyable environment where all children have an opportunity to take part in the game of cricket and develop new skills irrespective of their starting ability.
Sonning CC is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all its members. The Club believes that it is important that members, coaches, administrators and parents associated with the Club should, at all times, show respect and understanding for the safety and welfare of others.
Whilst we hope your child will be happy and content at the club, we understand that sometimes questions, concerns or difficulties may arise. Therefore, members are encouraged to be open at all times and to share any concerns or complaints that they may have about any aspect of the Club with us as soon as possible, so we can rectify things at the earliest opportunity.
Your Club Safeguarding Officer is your first point of contact if you have any safeguarding concerns about your child or another child, or about the behaviour of any adult at the club. If you have a question regarding coaching, please approach the coach in the first instance.
Our Club Safeguarding Officer, Tom Shaw, can be contacted by email at [email protected]. Tom will also be at most of our Friday night training sessions during the summer, should you wish to speak to him in person.
If for any reason Tom is not available, or if your concern is about Tom, you may contact the County Welfare Officer Brian Cooper by email [email protected] or by phone on 07789250905.
Please see our Safeguarding Policy Statement, Junior Code of Conduct, Member Code of Conduct and Privacy Policy for more details of how we manage safeguarding at our club. We have adopted the ECB's “Safe Hands” policy for safeguarding children in cricket, which is available to view online at www.ecb.co.uk/safeguarding or a copy is held by Mary.
