Safeguarding
Caerphilly Tennis Club is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the well-being of all of our users. The club is committed to ensuring safeguarding practice reflects statutory responsibilities, government guidance and complies with best practice as well as LTA minimum requirements.
“Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility: not responding to a safeguarding concern is not an option.”
Members who wish to raise a matter of concern may do so knowing that we shall deal with it sensitively, confidentially, discreetly and with honesty of purpose.
