Welfare Officer
We are meticulous about child protection at The Avenue Tennis Club.
All our coaches have recent Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS, previously CRB) checks. In line with Lawn Tennis Association recommendations, we ask all our coaches to fill in self-certificates every six months.
Korana Popovic is our Welfare Officer, she and her family have played at the club for many years. She lives very close to the club and can be contacted easily. Her role at the club includes receiving and acting on any reported child protection concerns, whether they come from members of the club or members of the public. Her role is to ensure that the child protection policy is implemented and promoted and that the club follows best practice in safeguarding.
A message from Korana Popovic:
The Avenue Tennis Club is committed to prioritise the well being of all
our members and visitors, children and adults. We all strive to promote
a safe and inclusive environment for all our members, coaches, visitors
and volunteers.
We aim to deliver a positive tennis experience to everyone using the club, at all times.
My role as volunteer Welfare Officer, is to respond appropriately to all safeguarding concerns and disclosures.
