We take Safeguarding very seriously at Brooke and District Tennis Club. The Club is committed to prioritising the well-being of all children and adults at risk, promoting safeguarding in our club at all times. Our notice boards and website contain all the information members need to ensure we minimise risk, deliver a positive tennis experience for everyone and respond appropriately to all safeguarding concerns/disclosures.
SAFEGUARDING IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY: NOT RESPONDING TO A SAFEGUARDING CONCERN IS NOT AN OPTION.
