The England and Wales Cricket Board is to roll out child protection training to welfare officers in its affiliated clubs in the next step of its child protection programme.
Rebecca Ledingham, the board's child protection manager, said it also wanted to educate more parents and club coaches about child protection.
She dismissed fears that some small clubs would not be able to comply with the board's child protection policy, Safe Hands - Welfare of Young People in Cricket, which states that clubs must appoint a welfare officer.
The 6,000 clubs affiliated to the board had until 1 April this year to sign up to the policy, which was launched in October 2003, but some have claimed they would not be able to afford Criminal Records Bureau checks for all people who came into contact with children.
However, Ledingham said there had been a "complete misunderstanding" over the policy.
