Compliance

Child Protection

GLTC has adopted and implemented the Code of Ethics and Good Practice for Children’s Sport as set out by Tennis Ireland as an integral part of club policy on children and club membership. Upon joining the Club or renewal of annual membership, all members agree to abide by the Code of Conduct and the club’s Child Protection Policy. These codes and policies are set out below, and all members and their children should read and become familiar with them.

The Club Child Protection Officers are available should any member have any questions or require any assistance in relation to child protection in the club.

The Child Protection Officers for GLTC are Steve Tran (086 0306865) and Deborah O’Neill (086 2938793).

Whilst we want our junior members to have fun and enjoy their time at the club, we want them to do so safely and with respect for each other, for coaches, members and other players & visitors.

GLTC does not accept responsibility for independent recreational play e.g. two juniors arriving at the club on their own to play a game or children being left unsupervised while their parents/guardians/carers are playing tennis or otherwise. 

Under 8’s are not permitted to attend GLTC without an accompanying guardian / adult taking responsibility for their care. Children are very welcome in the club and clubhouse, however, we would stress that parents advise their children to heed caution when on our club balcony & staircase ie no running, jumping or horse-play is allowed. 

The code of conduct for GLTC is listed below for members’ reference.
