Safeguarding

Cocks and Hens Tennis Club aims to create an enjoyable environment for all members and visitors who wish to take part in tennis, other sport and social activities at the Club.

We believe that everyone has the right to be treated with respect and to have their concerns listened to and acted upon.

We will ensure that the Club provides for the needs of all members and visitors through specific programmes, designated facilities and safe practice.

We have procedures in place to address poor practice and to help anyone who appears to be at risk, or who appears to be the victim of abuse. We will offer help and support when anyone tells us that they are affected by these issues.

We will take steps to ensure that any Club volunteers or professionals running training courses are suitable to do so, through the use of references and background checks. We will ensure that all relevant people have been vetted and approved through the LTA Disclosure and Barring Service.

We will ensure that all of those working with children are made aware of the LTA Code of Conduct for people Working with Children in Tennis, and are required to follow it.

The Club has adult members who are specifically responsible for safeguarding:
