Safeguarding
We strive to ensure that all children, young people and adults at risk are safeguarded from abuse and have an enjoyable tennis experience.
Everyone who is involved in tennis has a shared responsibility to support this by promoting the welfare of all children, young people and adults at risk.
The Club Welfare/Safeguarding Officer is Serge Merone who can be contacted at merone@blueyonder.co.uk
Darnhall LTC has a range of policies for safeguarding the wellbeing of its members:
- Safeguarding Policy including Code of Conduct
- Diversity and Inclusion Policy
- Policy on the use of changing rooms
