Notice. Listen. Understand.
Research and education help people identify risks and hear concerns without minimising them.
Our approach
Safeguarding as a living system.
A policy alone cannot create a safer environment. SafeTennis connects evidence, prepared people, clear pathways and organisational learning.
The safeguarding loop
Three movements, designed to reinforce one another.
The project works as a loop: understand the context, improve the response and strengthen the system that makes safer practice possible.
Know what to do next.
Training and case-management thinking support timely, confidential and person-centred action.
Learn. Adapt. Sustain.
Policies, monitoring and shared practice make safeguarding part of how tennis organisations operate.
Design principles
What guides the work.
These principles translate the approved project objectives into a clear public model. Detailed frameworks and training materials will be published as the work is completed and approved.
The welfare, voice and dignity of children and adults at risk guide every part of the work.
Research and needs assessment shape the tools, training and policies that follow.
Clear roles, learning and response pathways help people act when something does not feel safe.
Athletes, families, coaches, clubs, federations and tennis bodies all contribute to safer environments.
The framework is developed for different countries, roles and organisational contexts.
Monitoring, evaluation and shared learning support continued development beyond the project.
