ERCC STATEMENT

East Renfrewshire Cricket Club fully acknowledges the findings and welcomes the recommendations following the publication of the Plan4Sport Independent Review into Racism in Scottish Cricket. 

Our message is clear – cricket is for everyone. Discrimination has absolutely no place in cricket, in the street, on playing field, online or in wider society and we will not tolerate it under any circumstances. ERCC is an anti-racist organisation and is completely opposed to prejudice in all its forms. The Club has an ongoing commitment to diversity and education of players, coaches and staff at all levels. We will review all our procedures to ensure compliance and ensure all committee members, staff and coaches have the requisite EDI training going forward. There is no place for racism in our society – and we must all play our part in ensuring it is rooted out and eliminated. It is important that we ensure any historical wrongs that have been visited upon people at this Club are never repeated. Everyone involved at ERCC will continue to be vigilant and work together to ensure that all forms of abuse towards our players and management is exterminated. We will actively seek out the involvement of all members and the local community as well as other clubs, the Running out Racism campaign and work in conjunction with the action plan to be developed by Cricket Scotland to maintain and pursue this aim. Our players have our full support, and we stand shoulder to shoulder with them in collective attempts to eradicate all forms of discrimination.
