National Programmes Activator Training 2023

14th February 2023

Returning Activators

For Activators that are Returning this year, they will need the following:

  • DBS Check – Each Activator should have a valid and up to date DBS. Your club safeguarding officer can support you in organising this.
  • Activator eLearning – All activators were asked to complete the updated e-learning in 2021. If you were unable to complete this last year please follow the link on your checklist. There is a requirement to complete this element every 3 years.
  • New Activator Virtual Induction Course – This is an initial induction delivered virtually by your local County Cricket Board. This will be marked as complete even if you have attended this training or if you attended Face to Face training prior to 2021.
  •   New Activator Face To Face Training Course – This will be set as complete if you have attended initial training and will only need to be completed once.
  • Safeguarding Training – This checklist item will be marked as complete if Activators have an up to date ECB Safeguarding Young Cricketers qualification or completed the elearning in 2021 which included this element. If marked as incomplete this may be due to your

At the time of writing the elearning module is not live on the Club Spark website to complete, but we are expecting the module to be available in the next coupe of days.  I will write back again when it is.

NEW Activators

For New Activators, they will need the following:

  • DBS Check – Activators should have a valid ECB DBS system. Your Club Safeguarding Officer or County Cricket Board representatives will be able to activate this for you.
  • Activator eLearning – New Activators should complete the Activator e-learning which will then need to be completed every 3 years.
    The eLearning consists of 4 modules that cover off the philosophy of our programmes as well as practical advice on how to run sessions in a fun and safe environment. The content supports what you will be taught at the face to face training and you can do a bit, save and come back to it.
  • New Activator Virtual Induction Course – Once you book onto this seminar, your local County Cricket Board will send you a link to a zoom or teams meeting to complete this part of the training. If you haven’t received this link within 3 days of the event taking place please contact the County Cricket Board directly to request the detail. The session should last between 60 and 90 minutes and will cover off the less practical elements of the course. This will be information such as safeguarding and how to find resources and sessions plans; as well as learning about how you can deliver sessions.
  • New Activator Face To Face Training Course – Follow the link to book this element which is face to face, by your local county board, and follows on from the virtual induction.
  • ECB Safeguarding Young Cricketers – This item is all about ensuring you have the knowledge and information to run safe sessions for the children in your sessions. If you have already completed the ECB’s Safeguarding and Child protection training (known as Safeguarding Young Cricketers) this checklist item should already be completed. For those that haven’t you will be directed to complete it through the ECB’s e-learning portal.
