Safeguarding and Welfare
Dedham Tennis Club ("DTC") achieved the Tennismark accreditation in 2018 and meets the LTA Minimum Venue Requirements in force from 1st October 2018. It achieves this by maintaining a consistent set of policies, which have been adopted by the Committee and which we expect all members to engage with and abide by.
The Welfare Officer of DTC is Steve Watchorn and he can be contacted at stephen.watchorn@gmail.com.
Our current Safeguarding Policy and Procedures document provides full details of our approach as well as our Code of Conduct and Whistleblowing Policy. Our shorter Safeguarding Policy Statement gives a short summary of key information. Both documents are available to read in our Clubhouse.
In addition, DTC's Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Policy sets out our commitment to a culture of everyday inclusion and to driving greater diversity and equitable outcomes in tennis.
