This Anti-Discrimination Code (the Code) is part of the Cricket East’s continuing efforts to maintain the integrity, diversity and inclusivity of cricket. We aim to create an environment within cricket in which no individual, group or organisation experiences discrimination or acts in a discriminatory manner on the basis of a Protected Characteristic (as defined in the Equality Act 2010 – which at the time of writing are age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, sex or sexual orientation).
This Code therefore sets out discriminatory behaviour which, when carried out by a participant who is required to comply with it, will be a breach of the Code and may be sanctioned accordingly. All Participants (as defined below) agree by virtue of their involvement in cricket in Cricket East to be bound by this Code and submit to the disciplinary jurisdiction of the relevant body which applies to them.
