Safeguarding Information
Urmston Tennis Club is committed to prioritising the wellbeing of all children and adults at risk, promoting safeguarding in our club at all times, including all coaching, programmes and events we run.
We have a number of safeguarding policies which strive to minimise risk, deliver a positive tennis experience for everyone and respond appropriately to all safeguarding concerns/disclosures.
All our coaches and coach volunteers over the age of 16 have current DBS checks in place and those who are Level 2 and 3 are accredited with the LTA which means they have undergone safeguarding and emergency first aid at work training.
How to raise a concern about a child or an adult at risk at the club
If a child or an adult at risk is in immediate danger or risk of harm, the police should be contacted by calling 999.
Where a child or an adult at risk is not in immediate danger, any concerns about their wellbeing should be made without delay to a Welfare Officer for Urmston Sports Club.
The Welfare Officer will pass the details of the concern on to the LTA Safeguarding Team at the earliest opportunity and the relevant local authority and the police will be contacted, where appropriate.
If, however, the whistle-blower does not feel comfortable raising a concern with a Welfare Officer, they should contact the LTA Safeguarding Team directly, the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO) or the NSPCC on 0808 800 5000.
We have safeguarding noticeboards inside and outside the clubhouse which have details of all our policies, procedures, contact details of our welfare officers and coach qualifications.
