Public benefits
The benefits that flow from this purpose include the improvements to physical and mental health achieved through playing cricket regularly on a competitive basis, the improvement in playing skills achieved by young people who participate in coaching courses organised under the auspices of the Union, and the making available of these benefits to
hitherto under-represented participant groups, including women and girls and people with a disability. These benefits are demonstrated through feedback from clubs and schools and periodic surveys conducted by Cricket Ireland and Sport NI. The only potential for harm that we have identified is the risk of injury or other harm during play or practice. This risk is mitigated by: •encouraging safe play and practice, in particular through the adoption of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) bowling and fielding restrictions for young players; •requiring, as part of Club Accreditation, that clubs have safe facilities and access to first aid; and •requiring all members to comply with the terms of the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children’s Sport in Ireland. The intended beneficiaries are all people – men, women, the able-bodied and the disabled – who wish to participate in club or schools’ competitions, coaching courses or other developmental activities organised under the auspices of the Union. The only private benefit that might flow from the purposes would be to any players who developed so well as cricketers under the auspices of the Union that they were subsequently able to earn a living as professional players. This is an incidental and unavoidable consequence of effective development activity in almost any sport.
