SAFEGUARDING IS EVERYONE’S BUSINESS
Protecting children (everyone under 18 years) and adults at risk of abuse is as important in sport as in every other aspect of society. As an LTA Registered Venue, Bramford Tennis Club is commited to the highest standards of safeguarding that adhere to best practice guidelines defined and enforced by the LTA. We do this through the establishment and regular of key policies that apply to anyone who engages with the club in any capacity.
