Safeguarding

At Crawley Lawn Tennis Club, safeguarding means creating a safe and supportive environment for everyone.

Children’s Safeguarding

Our commitment to safeguarding children includes:

• Protecting children from abuse and neglect
• Preventing harm to their health or development
• Ensuring they grow up in safe and caring surroundings
• Taking action to help every child have the best life chances

Safeguarding Adults at Risk

For adults at risk, safeguarding focuses on:

• Supporting them to achieve the outcomes that matter most in their lives
• Protecting their right to live safely, free from abuse and neglect
• Empowering them to make informed choices, stay safe and raise any concerns

Our Approach

We believe that every individual is best placed to make decisions about their own well-being.
Action is only taken on someone’s behalf when:

• They lack the capacity to make a decision
• They face a life-threatening risk
• Someone else may be at risk of harm
• A criminal offence has been, or is likely to be, committed

Welfare

A key part of our safeguarding commitment is the appointment of a Welfare Officer. Our Welfare Officer is Jackie Dowdeswell. More information about Jackie can be found here.

Whistleblowing

In the context of safeguarding, whistleblowing is when someone raises a concern about the welfare of a child or an adult at risk. Our full Whistleblowing Policy can be found here.
