Working with Children Checks
Under current NSW legislation, parent volunteers or close relatives (step-parents, siblings, grand- carers) can volunteer for activities that involve their own children without needing a Working With Children Check (WWCC).
All other volunteers will need to undertake the check and must do so before commencing cricket activities. All professional coaches employed by MCC either directly or indirectly are properly accredited.
