Safeguarding
Falkirk Council takes the safeguarding of children and vulnerable
adults very seriously and strives to ensure a safe environment for everyone using the
park tennis venues.
If you have any concerns or have any questions about safeguarding at a venue,
please contact the venue Welfare Officer ( Billy Brotton) at billy.brotton@falkirk.gov.uk.
It is important that all Children and Adults at Risk are able to enjoy their tennis in the parks in a safe and healthy environment. 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.
Should you have any safeguarding concerns, we would encourage you to log them
via the Register a Concern | Tennis Association | Tennis in Britain (lta.org.uk). All
concerns raised will be dealt with confidentially and sensitively and members or
members of the public will not be at detriment for doing so.
You can also contact the LTA Safe and Inclusive Tennis Team on 020 8487 7000 or
safeguarding@LTA.org.uk or NSPCC 0808 800 5000
If you think someone is at immediate risk of harm, please contact Police Scotland on
999 without delay.
