In 2023 all Hertfordshire Accredited Clubs will be uploaded to the ECB Safehands Management System. SHMS provides a secure platform for you to store and manage all your Club information in one easy and accessible place.
Safeguarding children across all cricket networks is an ECB priority, it is also a legal requirement under the Children Act 1989. Working Together to Safeguard Children 2018 places a specific requirement on sports organisations, to ensure they have minimum safeguarding standards in place.
The process will enable the ECB as the national governing body to provide consistent credibility to those organisations which meet the required standards of safeguarding.
Other benefits of being compliant on the SHMS are:
For current Clubmark Clubs and Clubs running Junior Cricket / National Programmes (Allstars & Dynamos) the deadline for 2024 SHMS compliance is 30th April 2024.
