An Introduction From David Collier
ECB Chief Executive
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) produced the original version of “Safe Hands” in the autumn of 2003. That document was prefaced by the ECB giving its firm and enthusiastic commitment to ensuring cricket provides a safe, friendly and enjoyable experience for children.
As the ECB’s Chief Executive I give a continuing commitment to that pledge.
“Safe Hands” is reviewed and updated annually.
Adopting and implementing “Safe Hands” remains a requirement of affiliation to the ECB, and the “Safe Hands” Safeguarding Programme continues to provide a core theme of the ECB club accreditation programme, ECB Clubmark.
As the National Governing Body for cricket we take our responsibility for the well-being of the game extremely seriously. We want the millions of people throughout England and Wales who enjoy our national summer sport, across all ages and from a hugely diverse range of backgrounds, to have a positive experience, whatever their involvement. We also want to play our part in helping children achieve the best possible outcomes and we are confident of the important role sport can play in helping children be safe, healthy and involved in their communities. This Safeguarding Policy provides our sport with tools to ensure the whole game takes up the challenge of continuously improving the participation conditions for children. By participation, we mean not just playing the game, but being involved in their clubs, having their views listened to and being encouraged to take responsibility, with the help of the adults around them, for their own development as cricketers and as people.
In addition, and of equally vital importance, “Safe Hands” helps us ensure the many thousands of volunteers integral to our game are supported.
A vibrant and healthy club cricket infrastructure is important to the ECB and as such, on behalf of the ECB, I would like to thank you for playing your part in helping us deliver our Vision to inspire the nation to choose cricket.

Section 1 – An Introduction From David Collier – 2013

NSPCC Endorsement of the ECB’s Safeguarding Policy

‘All children and young people have the right to participate in their sport in a safe and enjoyable environment. National governing bodies of sport need to provide support, which includes up to date user friendly guidance, to help staff and volunteers working with children to fulfil their duty of care towards their participants. The ECB’s revised Safe Hands manual builds on the previous resources and reflects current best practice in safeguarding. Everyone involved in delivering cricket to children and young people has a role to play in creating the best possible environment for them. The emphasis in this updated version of
Safe Hands is on providing a welcoming and inclusive club, where the views of children and their parents are actively sought and considered. The ‘kit bag’ provides the resources that cricket clubs need to create an environment where children will feel safe and where they can have confidence in sharing any concerns they may have. Implementation through staff and volunteers across cricket who are ‘professional’ and approachable will help children feel safe and will encourage good practice.
We are living in a world where developments in technology move rapidly. It is essential that adults are aware of both the benefits and the hazards associated with social media and electronic communications in order to ensure young people’s safety is prioritised. The guidance for clubs on the use of social media, texting and email is helpful and provides the clear and straightforward guidance that Sports clubs are asking for.
The NSPCC Child Protection in Sport Unit is pleased to endorse this revised version of Safe
Hands and the wider work that the ECB is undertaking in relation to safeguarding children involved in cricket.’ Anne Tiivas
Director NSPCC Child Protection in Sport Unit

Section 1 – NSPCC Endorsement of the ECB’s Safeguarding Policy – 2013

ECB Guidance Concerning the Use of this
“Safe Hands” Manual
This “Safe Hands” manual has altered over time as it becomes a source of policy statements relating to safeguarding and a practical guide, and reference document, for cricket clubs and all those involved with cricket.
The main users of this manual are likely to be Club Welfare Officers, as they guide their club committee to plan, prioritise and implement the various safeguarding activities necessary to protect children, and volunteers, within cricket. However, this manual, and the policy statements, guidance notes and practical advice contained within it, is meant for use by all within cricket including parents, children and young people, coaches, officials, and other volunteers. This manual takes into account relevant legislation at the time of publication, but it does not intend to make the reader an expert on the legal framework, or subject, of safeguarding.
Instead it offers practical guidance for those involved in providing cricket activities for children, aiming to increase general awareness of both mandatory requirements and good practice.
The “Safe Hands” Safeguarding Policy operates on both a national and local level, and is written to be applicable to all levels of the game across all areas of the country. “Safe Hands” must be adopted and implemented by every cricket club affiliated to the ECB.
The guidance in this manual is reviewed every year by the ECB to ensure it remains current and relevant for cricket clubs.

Section 1 – ECB Guidance Concerning the Use of this “Safe Hands” Manual – June 2013

Key Definitions and Concepts

The key definitions and concepts shown below are taken from “Working Together to
Safeguard Children, 2013”. This is Government guidance for agencies to safeguard and promote the welfare of children.
“Child”

A child is anyone who has not yet reached their 18th birthday. ‘Children’ means ‘children and young people’ throughout.
The word child/children will be used throughout this publication to denote all persons under the age of 18.

“Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children”

This is defined in government guidance (Working Together to Safeguard
Children 2013) as:
- protecting children from maltreatment
- preventing impairment of children’s health and development
-  ensuring that children grow up in circumstances consistent with the provision of safe and effective care and
- taking action to enable all children to have the best outcomes

Key Concept –
Who is responsible for safeguarding?

Working Together 2013 states that “safeguarding children – the action we take to promote the welfare of children and protect them from harm
– is everyone’s responsibility. Everyone who comes into contact with children and families has a role to play.”
AND
“If at any time it is considered that the child may be...in need…or that the child has suffered significant harm or is likely to do so, a referral should be made immediately to local authority Children’s Social Care.”

Key Concept –
A child-centred approach Working Together 2013 states that “effective safeguarding systems are child centred”
AND
“Children want to be respected, their views to be heard, to have stable relationships with professionals built on trust and for consistent support provided for their individual needs. This should guide the behaviour of professionals”. We understand this to mean all adults with positions of responsibility for children and all those responsible for the management and governance of the game.

Key Concept –
“Early Help”

Working Together 2013 encourages all agencies to provide ‘Early help’ – “Early help means providing support as soon as a problem emerges…from the foundation years through to the teenage years.” It follows that we must act on any concerns about a child without delay, whether the child is in need of help or in need of protection, and it is not for us to assess which.

Section 1 – Key Definitions and Concepts – June 2013

Key Definitions and Concepts

Key Concept “Child Protection”

Child protection is one part of safeguarding and promoting welfare. It refers to the activity undertaken to protect specific children who are suffering, or likely to suffer, significant harm as a result of maltreatment.
Effective child protection is essential as part of the wider work to safeguard and promote the welfare of children. However, all agencies and individuals should proactively aim to safeguard and promote the welfare of children so that the need for action to protect children from harm is reduced.

“Abuse”

For definitions of the different types of abuse, and common indicators of abuse please see Section 2.

Sonic Highways Evaluation

...Vanessa Zsorey Dr. McCort College Comp 11 December 2015 Sonic Highways A band lasting as long as twenty years in the music industry with their original sound not suffering is a rarity. The Foo Fighters, led by the legendary Dave Grohl, are magnificent rockers who throughout two decades, continue to stay relevant in many ways. Throughout these twenty years they have released nine albums, each of which contained some of the biggest alternative rock hits of all time. Though they may not be riding the radio waves constantly or may only appeal to a shrinking audience, their craft has never once suffered. Their newest album, Sonic Highways, is pure proof that the Foo Fighters continuously try to push themselves out of their comfort zones in order to remain interesting to their fans. Sonic Highways was the most recent project the Foo Fighters have put out and the most creative of the past eight albums. The process to create this album was far more in depth and unique compared to the traditional methods. Typically, when a band decides they want to record, they find the closest studio that is in their price range and is the best quality necessary to fit the project. Mixing the recordings has gotten incredibly easy in recent times, where all that is really necessary is the ProTools program. With Protools, any errors can easily be cleaned and corrected, then moved on to the master CD and sent off to be pressed. A decade ago, recording and mixing were not nearly as simple or cheap...

...own in the future. I would like to ask the young people reading this: Do you ever wonder what you will do to earn a living, what your career will consist of? Do you ever wonder how successful you are going to be, or what things you will be able to accomplish? Do you ever wonder if you will be able to enjoy the “good life” and afford the nicer than average things? Do you wonder if you will wind up having a job that you enjoy, or one that you must do out of necessity? Will you be able to support yourself and a family and own a nice home and automobile—all of those things we think of as the “American Dream”? Probably most young people have these thoughts and questions from time to time. You may not worry about such things at this time in your life, but you do think about them. We are all aware of the economic downturn in the United States, as our nation faces many problems at this time. Unemployment problems are continually in the news with many major corporations laying off employees as part of necessary cutbacks. Some of these may already be affecting your family. Many of you harbor legitimate concerns and are uncertain about your future. Even with conditions that now occur in our economy, a way exists for you to be successful and to land a good job in this country. This key concept or way for you to be successful starts right now no matter your age or grade in school. It can be described in a word: diligence. Diligence means “steady, earnest, energetic application and effort...

Cig Rolling

...Joe Polce English 015 Mrs. Wickman How To Roll Your Own Cigarette Is anyone in your life a cigarette smoker? Do you often notice that they are always complaining about their ever-rising price? According to the U.S Census Bureau, out of the 6.7 billion people in the world, 2 billion are smokers of cigarettes or some other form of tobacco. Almost 75% of these 2 billion spend between $1000 - $1500 yearly on their favorite packs and cartons that they just cannot resist. We know its a habit, right? Its also an expensive habit. I am going to show you a quick and easy way to not only cut the cost of cigarettes in half, but also save you hundred of dollars. A select few smokers of the modern world have been fortunate enough to find the solution to the climbing prices of cigarettes. This solution is actually very simple. Why don’t we, instead of spending the $6 plus on an already produced pack of Marlboro Lights, make and produce our own pack of very similar cigarettes? Herein lies the solution; roll your own cigarettes. Most people shy away from such an idea claiming that they would never know where to start, or have no idea where they would buy the equipment, but on contrary the first steps to this new lifestyle are very easy, and the tools needed are readily available. The benefits of rolling your own cigarettes are numerous. First off, its inexpensive.

Stolpestad

...a second person narrator technique, he highlights uncomfortable situations, loss of identity and the feeling of being stuck in life, showing that one most do what one likes, otherwise, you’ll lose in life In the short story, “Stolpestad”, is it clear that Stolpestad is stuck in his life. “The coffee shops, the liqoue stores, laundromats, police, fire, gas stations to pass – this is your life, Stolpestad”. Furthermore, Stolpestad seems to be genuine depressed as he says to himself “this is your life, Stolpestad” which shows that Stolpestad’s not where he wants to be in life as he has to end the sentence white “Stolpestad” as if he was not listening to himself. “As if you have seen or imagined or been through all of this before, or will be through it all again” The fact that Stolpestad feels like he has experienced things that he haven’t even tried yet, shows how much he has given up on life. Stolpestad’s sad view on life probably is a mix of his life going in circles, and the fact that he is constantly experiencing unpleasant things that just repeats and repeats itself throughout his life: “Your whole life spent along the same sad streets (..) as you pull around the house, as if you’ve seen or imagined or been through all of this before, or will be through it all again, over and over”.

As a young man in high school one of his first gigs was at a local blues bar with a band he had been currently been a part of. Although he only played guitar at the time Mayer was still songwriting. He learned how to write after being hospitalized at the age of 17 with a mental issue even though his illness was destroying his body his creativity kept flowing allowing him to find his newfound passion, songwriting. All these action leading to his first debut of his album in 2001 “Room for Squares” in which he would receive Grammy nominations for the song “Your body is a wonderland” and the public eye would be drawn towards Mayer. After this Mayer would release many albums and singles that would lead to the fame he has today. In my opinion, John Mayer’s music is one of a kind and truly beautiful all holding a deep message leaving for the listener to interpret in however which way they feel. Furthermore, out of all of Mayer’s accomplishments “Waiting on the world to change” from the album “Continuum” is one of his best works.

Page 3 of 16 2. MEASURES TAKEN AML has been on the agenda of regulators well before 9/11. However, the actions of prosecutors were more focused on fighting organised crime, drug and weapon dealing as well as tax evasion. 9/11 shifted the attention towards fighting terrorism and initiated Counter Terrorist Financing (“CTF”) laws. It was not until 9/11, that strict reporting rules known as “Know Your Customer” were introduced in the US. Before, the banking lobby could prevent further regulations, however, the US PATRIOT Act 2001, in response to 9/11, took AML and CTF measures to a new level.

Legal Scenario

...Antonio Raimundo Montana (“Tony”) was once the office manager of Captain Kirk, P.A. (“Firm”). A few of Tony’s duties involved client billing and managing the Firm’s accounts, both the operating and trust accounts. Tony had been at the Firm for over 20 years and was a trusted employee, so much so that the managing partner, Spock, rarely supervised Tony’s actions. When Tony first started at the Firm he would provide Spock a monthly report that detailed the activity of the trust account. Spock required this report as means to comply with the Florida Bar Rule 5-1.1, which mentions that a lawyer must maintain and supervise the trust account. However, as the Firm rapidly expanded and the workload increased, Tony asked Spock to eliminate such “busy” work like that of the monthly report of the trust account. Spock agreed to cease the monthly reports since he had developed a strong sense of trust and loyalty to Tony over the years. Also, Tony had never done anything in the past to make Spock suspicious of Tony’s actions. Spock had to go out of state for a month’s time for a trial. Before leaving, he asked that Tony be on the lookout for a $1 million dollar wire transfer that was expected to be coming in the next couple of days and is to be held within the Firm’s trust account. Tony obliged and said that everything would be taken care of and that the accounting records would be updated once received. While Spock was out of town, he emailed Tony on several occasions inquiring...

Jrich_26@yahoo.com 713-988-1038 GM 591 Leadership Organizational Behavior Kim Nugent January 23, 2012 Group Development As of right now, the group is somewhere between norming and performing-this stage is actually called storming. My reason for using the two stages is that one group member is still not performing up to standard (Mike). I find that this has occurred and been encountered quite often in my experience at DeVry. Most members will be onboard and one will just do the lease amount of work necessary to pacify other members. Christine having and understanding of the stages of group development would better suit her in two ways. First she would be aware of how the group is functioning and the dynamics of a group activity. Then secondly, she would see that Mike was not falling under any of the developmental practices in the stages. Also, I think it would give her a better idea on how to obtain Mike’s full efforts on the assignment. Problem Identification Christine is first facing the lack of participation by one of the group’s members. Secondly the group is at a critical point because the assignment is nearing a close. Christine needs to understand how to motivate each member to be the best at giving a total effort to the assignment. People are a very delicate lot.

Theory & Practice of Regulation of Anti-Money Laundering for Banks & Nonbanks

...Theory and Practice of Regulation of Anti-Money Laundering for Banks and NonBanks Hayford Kwesi Annor Manager, Risk & Compliance/AMLRO, ABii National Savings & Loans Ltd. Doctorate of finance student, SMC University, Switzerland. FAAFM, Ch.FE, ACCPA, MBA, BSc, HND h.k.annor@gmail.com Abstract A deregulated financial sector is free to accumulate and allocate funds from anywhere irrespective of the nature, form, intent and source. Without regulatory oversight, this poses zero risk to banks and nonbanks no matter how they finance the capital structure. In the real world, banking is an outcome of interactions between the regulator and the regulated. Regulatory consequences apply for failure to comply with the acceptable standards of best practices of banking regulation which include fines, sanctions, jail terms and revocation of the banking license for willful or non-willful noncompliance. The physical disposal of proceeds of funds’ from crime with aim of separating same, through creation of layers to disguise trails of the source and make it seem legitimate undermines the integrity of the financial system. It is required of the banking sector to build a comprehensive framework that identifies, assesses, monitors, mitigates and reports perceptions of suspicious activities of money launderers under the discipline of the regulator to avoid being sanction for the related offences. This paper reviews theory to link practice towards money laundering risk assessment...
