Derbyshire Tennis Centre Safeguarding Statement

At Derbyshire Tennis Centre, an LTA-registered venue, we recognise both our moral duty and legal obligation to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children (under 18) and adults at risk.

We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where everyone feels respected and protected. Our safeguarding approach is in line with current legislation, government guidance, and the safeguarding standards set by the LTA.
