Safeguarding at West Beach Tennis Courts

 

Infinity Tennis acknowledges its duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and adults at risk. We are fully committed to ensuring that our safeguarding practices adhere to current legislation, statutory guidance, and best practice, in line with LTA safeguarding procedures and requirements.

Staff Training and Compliance

At Infinity, we prioritise the safety and well-being of everyone involved in our activities. To uphold our commitment to safeguarding, we ensure that all staff and coaches are thoroughly trained and compliant with best practice standards.

All of our coaches are safeguarding trained, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to handle any concerns responsibly. Additionally, they undergo enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checks to provide further assurance of their suitability to work with children and vulnerable individuals.

Furthermore, our Infinity Tennis venues are subject to audits by the LTA (Lawn Tennis Association). These audits ensure that we meet and maintain compliance with the highest safeguarding and operational standards. Through these measures, we aim to foster an environment where everyone can enjoy tennis with confidence and peace of mind.

Parental Responsibility

Parents and legal guardians are responsible for supervising their children while using the West Beach Tennis courts. Children should not be left unsupervised at any time.
