Safeguarding
Seen or heard anything that makes you concerned about someone's welfare?
Wyndham Park Tennis, Grantham Tennis Club and SKDC acknowledges the duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and adults at risk. We are committed to ensuring safeguarding practice is in line with legislation, statutory guidance and safeguarding procedures and complies with best practice and LTA requirements.
Parents and legal guardians are responsible for their children when using the Wyndham Park Tennis Courts and it is their responsibility to decide if the child is of a suitable level of maturity to use the courts unsupervised
Grantham Tennis Club appointed coaches or appointed Tennis Activators are responsible for players of all ages attending any of their sessions on court. Due to the Tennis courts being located in a public park we do need parents to stay for the duration of the session.
If you think a child, young person or adult is in immediate danger or risk of harm, please call 999.
