Safeguarding-safe to play tennis
What is Safeguarding?
Safeguarding is about keeping children and adults safe from harm and specifically that all children, young people and adults at risk are safeguarded from abuse and have an enjoyable tennis experience.
Safeguarding at Busby
Busby Lawn Tennis Club acknowledges the duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and adults at risk. The club is committed to ensuring safeguarding practice reflects statutory responsibilities, government guidance and complies with best practice and LTA requirements. A copy of the club’s full safeguarding policy can be found here: BLTC Safeguarding policy 2021
The Codes of Conduct are available here: Codes of Conduct for volunteers, members, children, parents and carers
We review our policies on a regular basis so the latest version of each document is available here. A review was carried out in January 2023 that did not recommend any changes however, as a new LTA template has been issued in April 2023, a full review will be undertaken.
