About Me

As a father of three, I understand the importance of fostering a safe, supportive, and inclusive
environment for everyone.
I deal extensively with safeguarding and pastoral care matters, in my professional role at an
independent specialist school; if you have any concerns or worries at this club, please don't
hesitate to contact me via text, call or email.

The Mirfield Tennis Club is committed to prioritising the well-being of all children and adults at risk, promoting safeguarding in our club at all times, including all programmes and events we run. All activities, events and trips arranged by the club run in accordance with the LTA’s Safeguarding at Events and Competitions guidance. This Policy strives to minimise risk, deliver a positive tennis experience for everyone and respond appropriately to all safeguarding concerns/disclosures.

SAFEGUARDING IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY: NOT RESPONDING TO A SAFEGUARDING CONCERN IS NOT AN OPTION.
