Club Policies
Bardowie Tennis Club is fully Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) accredited which means that our policies and practice conform to the standards set by the governing body for tennis in Great Britain.
The club’s Welfare Officer, Vicki Lennox (welfare.bardowietennisclub@gmail.com), is responsible for the operation and monitoring of several of these policies (Safeguarding, Whistleblowing, Anti-Bullying, Inclusion and Diversity) and should be contacted with any concerns related to these policies.

All our policies and any related material are provided in paper copy form in a Policy Folder located within the clubhouse.

Safeguarding all vulnerable individuals at all times is a top priority whether during clubhouse activities or during any club programmes and/or sponsored or organised events. The primary objectives of our Safeguarding Policy are to minimise risk and, by so doing, deliver a positive tennis experience for everyone. Bardowie Tennis Club will always respond appropriately to all safeguarding concerns/disclosures, in accordance with LTA guidelines.
