The SPCU would encourage our clubs officials, players and volunteers to take part in this survey.

Plan4Sport, the organisation leading the independent review into racism in Scottish cricket, has launched a survey to help better understand the profile of the game and to shape recommendations for the sport's future. This will help us better understand the profile of Scottish cricket and do better for everyone involved in the sport.

The survey will provide up-to-date and robust data which isn’t available at present so we are making a commitment to gather data on a regular basis going forward to better inform our activities, strategies and actions.

The survey is open for everyone across Scottish cricket to complete now. Find out more ⬇️
