OLMLTC strives to ensure that all children (anyone under 18) are safeguarded from abuse and have an enjoyable tennis experience.
This policy applies to all staff, coaches, volunteers, players, parents/carers and any other individuals associated with OLMLTC.
This document sets out the OLMLTC policy for the acceptable use of our changing rooms.
-
Groups of children will have sole use of changing rooms. This reduces any risks and potential vulnerability associated with mixing adults and children when changing and showering.
-
If adults and children need to share our changing rooms, they will do so at different times.
-
Under no circumstances will adult staff, coaches or volunteers change or shower at the same time as children using the changing rooms.
-
Mixed gender groups of children will have access to separate changing rooms, or use the same changing room but at different times.
-
If we are made aware that a child or adult self-identifies as a gender that differs from the gender they were assigned at birth, we will work with them and their parents/carers (where it relates to a child) to make reasonable adjustments to changing arrangements to suit their needs)
-
Mobile phones and other electronic devices must not be used in changing rooms.
-
For younger groups of children, a DBS checked member of staff or volunteer will wait outside the changing rooms to allow children to call for assistance if required.
