'Click' on the tab above to view WLTC Safeguarding  'Policy Documents' 

WLTC is committed to prioritising the well-being of children and adults at risk, promoting safeguarding in our Club at all times, including at all programs and events. The Club strives to minimise risk, deliver a positive tennis experience for everyone and respond appropriately to all safeguarding concerns and disclosures.

If a child or an adult at risk is in immediate danger or risk of harm the police should be contacted by dialling 999.

Where a child or an adult at risk is not in immediate danger, any concerns about their well-being should be made without delay to the Club Welfare Officer who will pass the details of the concern on to the LTA Safeguarding Team. The Local Authority and Police will be notified where appropriate. If you do not feel comfortable contacting the Club Welfare Officer any concerns should be reported to the LTA Safeguarding Team directly
