Health and Safety Policy

The Health and Safety of club members, participants, spectators and all others involved in cricket is of paramount importance to Hornsey Cricket Club. We recommend levels of training dependent on age and ability and expect our junior members to participate within these boundaries.

Create a safe environment by putting health and safety measures in place as identified by the assessment.
Ensure that all members are given the appropriate level of training and competition by regularly assessing individual ability dependant on age, maturity and development.
