This applies to any person who plays, coaches, officiates, works, volunteers, or otherwise participates (or visits) at our venue. 

Woodside Tennis Club recognises our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children (anyone under 18) and adults at risk. We are committed to ensuring our safeguarding practice reflects statutory responsibilities, government guidance and with LTA standards.

We are committed to prioritising the well-being of children and adults at risk and providing a safe and welcoming environment where they are respected and valued. We are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and follow our procedures to ensure that children and adults at risk receive effective support and protection.

All committee members, volunteers and coaches have had training in LTA Safeguarding Standards.
