Nearly half of all children and young people are members of sports clubs outside school and it is important that these clubs serve young people well.
The reasons for this include:
• Ensuring the well-being of young people whilst in the care of adults, other than their legal parent(s)/carer(s).
• Enthusing young people to enjoy sport and active recreation to build a healthy lifestyle.
• Enabling young people to use their leisure time creatively.
• Developing young people’s talents.
• Identifying and developing the most talented young people for representative sport.
Where does Elstead stand?
Elstead is pleased to announce that it achieved Clubmark accreditation in September 2008
Elstead has long advocated and run a safe environment for children. It introduced its own 'Child Protection ' scheme based on the principles of the NSPCC before the official ECB policies and procedures were introduced.
In keeping with other cricket clubs Elstead Cricket Club has now moved across to the ECB and Sport England Clubmark system. The reason is to provide parents, members and juniors with a common recognised standard.
The ECB Policy that Elstead has adopted is called Safe Hands and you can link to the ECB site here
Elstead has two Welfare Officers
Gordon Wycherley and
