Upon joining the Club or renewal of membership, all members agree to abide by the Club’s Child Protection Policy and Codes of Conduct. These policies and codes are set out below and all members and their children should read and become familiar with them.
Ratoath Tennis Club is not responsible for providing adult supervision for children other than at organised junior coaching, junior camps and junior tournaments. Ratoath Tennis Club does not accept responsibility for juniors that arrive at the club to play on their own. It is strongly recommended that if children are playing in the club independently of the club’s organised activities that a parent/guardian stays with them for the duration of the activity. Please refer to club rules regarding supervision of juniors.
The club’s child protection officers are available should any member have any questions or require any assistance in relation to child protection in the club.
