Northamptonshire County Cricket Club is marking the second full year of its Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Plan (EDI) which aims to promote inclusion and diversity at all levels of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During that time the club has engaged widely with many communities across the county, exploring how it can best make cricket available to all. It has run numerous participation and coaching programmes and created the Luton Steelbacks Academy, an innovative sixth form partnership. It is also committed to continually learning and exploring areas where more work needs to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The club recruited Shivani Kaushike as board member with specific responsibility for EDI, Risk and Governance in November 2021, who began by conducting a review of Northamptonshire\u2019s existing policies and work already underway. Kaushike then drafted the EDI Plan and established a confidential reporting procedure. Further work was done in January 2022 to ensure the plan tied into the ECB\u2019s new 12-point action plan to tackle racism and all forms of discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
