LTA Young Person’s Welfare Ambassador
Mon, 07 Oct 2024 00:00
Last year we piloted the Young Person’s Welfare Ambassador (YPWA) programme with 23 children and young people across England, Scotland and Wales.
With it’s success the application window for the 2025 YPWA programme is now open until 30th November 2024.
An Ambassador’s role is to:
- Provide a young person’s voice and perspective to promote safeguarding and welfare at their venues
- Raise awareness of safeguarding and welfare issues amongst members and players
- Gather feedback from young people to enable them to have a greater say in safeguarding discussions
- Provide an important link between venue committees and children and young people.
This is the first time in British sport a National Governing Body (NGB) is actively involving young people in a programme of this nature, directly integrating them in the safeguarding and welfare work within tennis venues and supporting them to be an important part of the process.
Are you aged 14-24 and interested in the becoming a YPWA?
