How to report something you are worried about
Lancashire Cricket Foundation is somewhere where you can have a good time. It is also somewhere you can turn to if you want to share any worries. These could be worries at home, with friends, at school or at Lancashire Cricket Foundation.
We will listen
It can be difficult to share things. You might worry that something is wrong, you might not be able to explain things well. This does not matter; staff will listen and give you the time to talk, listen, act on what you say and most importantly make sure you're safe.
It can be difficult to ask for help, here’s what you can do
You don’t have to share everything all at once, small steps are ok. Tell them what worries you. Telling someone safe is the most important thing. Choose an adult you trust. Someone who makes you feel safe and you know will listen.
It could be;
- A coach
- A member of the Lancashire Cricket Foundation Safeguarding Team
- A teacher
- A family member
- A family friend
Telling someone your worries might make you nervous, try not to worry its normal..

It might be hard to describe things, find the right words or tell us exactly what you mean to. We are good at listening and understanding. You might prefer to write things down, that’s cool too.
