Safeguarding & DBS Checks

The safety of our young players is our top priority. Volunteers who work with children or vulnerable adults will need to complete a DBS check and safeguarding training. We'll guide you through this process - it's straightforward and free for volunteers. All personal information is handled confidentially in line with ECB guidelines.
