COMPLIANCE

As a result of the Government’s current national lockdown restrictions and advice from the Disclosure and Barring Service, the ECB are continuing with Online ID verifications until further notice. This includes the initiation and verification of DBS applications.

Access is currently restricted to a limited group of Primary and Secondary users at County & ECB Level.

If you require an ECB DBS application to be initiated or verified then please email: welfare@hertscricket.org quoting the following information:

First Name / Last Name (must be proper first name ie. James not Jim, William not Bill etc.,)
Date of Birth
Club Name
email address
Role DBS required for (ie.Captain / Coach / Umpire / etc.,)

Once this information is received and initiated by Hertfordshire Cricket you should receive an email from ECB Safeguarding with full instructions on how to complete the Online DBS Process (please double check junk/spam folders if you do not receive the email in your inbox). To complete your DBS you will be asked to input details of 3 pieces of ID evidence (e.g. passport, driving licence, birth certificate, utility bill, bank statement, P45/P60).

Once you have submitted an application you will receive a link to use the Find a Verifier feature. After entering your postcode you will be asked to select 3 verifiers in order of preference. Once a verifier accepts your request you will be notified and advised to contact them to set up a Video ID meeting.
