We are committed to supporting Surrey cricket clubs in achieving Clubmark accreditation. The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), as part of their club accreditation programme, uses Sport England’s national accreditation scheme Clubmark for cricket clubs with junior sections. Being Club Mark accredited means those clubs are safe, effective and child friendly. All clubs with junior sections must achieve Club Mark accreditation.

Clubmark helps give cricket clubs with a junior section a structure and direction that will benefit them in several ways:

• Increasing membership and being able to demonstrate that clubs have addressed issues such as equality and child protection gives confidence to parents choosing a club for their children.
• Developing a club. The foundation for any club is its youth structure. By encouraging and attracting young members, clubs are building a strong future for themselves.
• Developing coaches and volunteers as part of the accreditation scheme, clubs are given help and advice in developing the skills of everyone involved in your club.
• Raising a club’s profile once accredited, clubs will be listed on the national database and in other sporting directories that will help them attract new members and to grow.
