HIGHAM CRICKET CLUB are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the health, safety and well being of all its members and guests. We believe that it is vitally important that all members, coaches, administrators, parents/carers and guests should at all times show respect and understanding for the safety and welfare of others. The Club Welfare Officers are available at all times if there are any concerns, issues or suggestions and there contact details are available on this page.

To this end the club, over the past 12 months, have worked hard to achieve the Clubmark accreditation. Clubmark is awarded by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) to clubs who meet exacting targets on such issues as child welfare, club administration, coaching, etc. and Higham Cricket Club are proud to announce that, after a site visit, accrediation was received in early January 2011. Now the club have met the standards required it is vitally important that we not only continue as we are but to push on with improvements, i.e. more school partnership, facility improvement, increase in number of approved coaches, etc. To achieve our goals we are reliant upon the assistance of all club members, junior section parents and outside partners, i.e. sponsors, grant funding organisations, etc.

Now Clubmark accrediation has been received the hard work starts.
