17. Reporting Procedure

Reporting Procedure
If you have any concerns about a child or adult at risk or the behaviour of an adult towards either of these, you should share these immediately. It is natural to feel a little anxious about reporting a safeguarding concern, but remember, it is not your responsibility to decide if abuse or neglect has taken place, but you do have a duty of care to share any concerns you have.

There are a number of ways to report a concern:
To your Club Safeguarding Officer – Stephen Kent (welfare.officer@roehamptoncricketclub.com).
To your County Safeguarding Officer – details can be found from your local County Cricket Board.
To the ECB Directly – you can do this by calling 020 7432 1200 and asking for a member of the Safeguarding Team or by emailing safeguarding@ecb.co.uk.
If urgent and you cannot contact your club, or County Safeguarding Officer, you should call the NSPCC 24-hour helpline on 0808 800 5000.
If it is an emergency and someone is at immediate risk, then call the Police or Children’s Social Care in your area.
The ECB Safeguarding Referral Form is very useful in creating a referral as it has several questions and tips to ensure you provide all the relevant information.
