LTA Safeguarding
Whitton Tennis Club takes the protection of it's children and vulnerable adults very seriously and are committed to providing the best possible support and care. To this end, our coaching team have completed enhanced DBS checks and LTA safeguarding courses whilst each team captain & committee member have completed DBS checks & attended an LTA run committee safeguarding course.
These courses cover how to safeguard children and adults who are at risk by giving club officials the skills to enable them to recogonise, respond, refer and record any concerns within the tennis environment.
In co-ordinance with Lawn Tennis Association registration, WTC adheres to making our Safeguarding Policies as visible as we can and we have notice board dedicated to this, prominantly displayed in our clubhouse.
The below policies are displayed and outline both instruction on how we safeguard our members as well as how all members are included.
