Club welfare policies

The Club needs all members to work together to ensure that we safeguard children and vulnerable adults in our care, that we welcome as diverse a membership as possible, and that we prevent abusive behaviour from taking place in our community. We also need to ensure that everyone recognises the potential issues involved in filming or taking photos at the club, in the uploading of material to social media, and managing the use of our changing rooms when being used by juniors.

To provide the best guidance to members that we can, the club has adopted policies based heavily on the model policies provided by the LTA, but adapted to meet our needs. Many of the policies contain codes of conduct to which members must adhere, so the LTA expects that members will familiarise themselves with these policies.
