Munster Cricket is committed to safeguarding procedures and by working  under the guidance of our Cricket Ireland Safeguarding Policies our staff, both  volunteers and employed, working with our young and vulnerable people, throughout  the organisation, seek to create a safe environment to grow and develop. 

Munster Cricket's written Risk Assessment document indicates the areas of  the potential risk of harm, the likelihood of the risk occurring, and gives the required  policy, guidance or process documents required to help mitigate these risks. This is  available for download below. 

The Risk Assessment was undertaken on February 16th, 2021. 

Our Child Safeguarding Statement has been developed in line with requirements  under the Children First Act 2015, (the Children First: National Guidance, and  Tusla’s Child Safeguarding: A Guide for Policy, Procedure and Practice). In addition  to our Risk Assessment document. This is available for download below.
