At Champions 11 Cricket League, the safety and well-being of all children involved in our cricket league is our top priority. This policy outlines the steps we will take if a child goes missing during any event, match, or league activity.

1. Immediate Action

If a child is found missing:

• The area will be searched immediately by staff, volunteers, and responsible adults.

• One person will inform the ground security and local authorities if the child is not found within 10 minutes.

• Other children will be kept safe and supervised.

2. Communication

• Parents or guardians will be contacted right away.

• A clear description of the child (clothes, age, last seen location) will be shared with all staff and volunteers.

• The incident will be reported to the police if the child is not found quickly.

3. Search Procedure

• Nearby areas such as restrooms, tents, stands, and parking zones will be searched first.

• Entry and exit points will be monitored.

• All staff will stop their regular duties and assist in locating the child.

4. When the Child is Found

• The child’s safety will be confirmed.

• Parents or guardians will be immediately informed.

• The incident will be reviewed to prevent future issues.

• Emotional support will be given to the child if needed.

5. Prevention Measures

• Children must always be accompanied by a parent/guardian or assigned volunteer.

• Entry passes or ID tags will be provided to children during the event.

• Regular headcounts will be conducted by team managers or volunteers.

• Staff and volunteers will be trained on how to handle such situations.

6. Reporting and Documentation

• A written report will be prepared and kept on record.
