Child Safeguarding Statement
Child Safeguarding - Risk Assessment

SAFEGUARDING our CHILDREN​

The protection of children in our sport is a priority of the highest order to everyone involved with tennis in Ireland.  Munster Tennis alongside Tennis Ireland, have taken a pro-active role in working with clubs and other associated bodies to ensure the highest level of compliance within our sport in terms of Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children’s Sport.  

Various programmes dedicated to the provision of information and training for voluntary officials at all levels of tennis are managed by Roger Geraghty, Tennis Ireland's Development Director.  Roger has acted as our National Children’s Officer for well over a decade.  Equally the Tennis Ireland Board of Directors ensure that this vital topic is on the agenda of every Board meeting.

However, these initiatives alone are not sufficient and Tennis Ireland wants to ensure that every Executive or Committee member at every club assumes a level of personal responsibility in safeguarding the well being of all member children.  We will only succeed in our responsibility to children where high levels of compliance with the Code are supported by the commitment of the Club Officers and ultimately by the commitment shown by every club member.

Tennis Ireland requires all member clubs to be compliant with its Child Protection Checklist and has a wealth of resources and materials available to all clubs and organisations over on their website at www.TennisIreland.ie

SAFEGUARDING INFORMATION SESSIONS

Picture
Following the Children’s First Act, Sport Ireland introduced their Safeguarding Auditing Framework for all sporting organisations.

The Safeguarding Audit Framework was developed for use by all who work with children and young people, from grassroots to the national level. This includes individual Tennis Clubs, the National Governing Body and all its stakeholders.

The Tennis Ireland Development Team host regional Information evenings to outline what is required for your club to become compliant with the legislation with the support of the Sport Ireland Audits. 

All Clubs' Chairpersons, Presidents, Honorary Secretaries, Children’s Officers and Designated Liaison Person's are welcome to attend a local information session. To enquire further of the next available sessions, please contact Liz Clifford -
