Safeguarding Children and Young People

Every child deserves to feel safe in our game.

Australian Cricket is committed to creating welcoming, inclusive environments where kids are protected, respected, and empowered—on and off the field.

We are committed to our vision to be a sport for all that makes Australians proud. 

The following resources have been created for community cricket clubs and associations to develop and promote their commitment to child safety. They are not meant to act as stand-alone documents and should be used to embed a culture of child safe practices and behaviours in your club.

Child Safety Form Templates

These form templates can be used by clubs to obtain consent or agreement from parents or guardians for following the code of behaviour, approving transportation arrangements, allowing the use of images or recordings, and consenting to the livestreaming of matches.

e-Learning Modules for Recognising and Reporting Abuse

e-Learning modules can be completed by anyone involved in community cricket - volunteers, coaches, umpires, players and parents - to help them to recognise and report prohibited conduct in cricket, such as abuse, misconduct and grooming.

  • Each module takes just 5 minutes to complete.

  • It is recommended to start with the ‘Looking after our kids introduction’ module, from which you can also navigate to each topic.

  • You can complete all the modules or select the modules you want to learn more about.

To promote the eLearn’s within your Association or Club use this email template.
