SILLOTH TENNIS CLUB DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION POLICY STATEMENT

This Diversity and Inclusion Policy, Standards, Code of Conduct and Reporting Procedure are applicable to Silloth Tennis Club and is based on similar policies of:

• The Lawn Tennis Association (LTA)
• Tennis Scotland
• Tennis Wales
• The Tennis Foundation.

As a club we contribute actively to enable more people to play tennis more often, in a manner that it is safe, inclusive, and fair. This applies regardless of a person’s age, disability, gender reassignment status, sex, marital or civil partnership status, pregnancy or maternity, race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, race or sexual orientation, socio-economic status or any other background.

We recognise that many concerns and/or disclosures may have both safeguarding and diversity and inclusion elements to them. This policy reflects this through its reporting procedures, which replicate the safeguarding concern reporting procedures.

This Policy strives to minimise risk and support our venue, programmes, events and individuals to deliver and experience a positive tennis experience for everyone. The Reporting Procedures in page 2 outlines how to respond to safeguarding or discrimination concerns/disclosures.
