Table Tennis Wales has achieved level two of NSPCC Standards for Safeguarding children in sport we are working towards achieving level three by 2019.

Every child and young person in Wales should be able to participate in sport and physical recreation in a safe and enjoyable environment.

Table Tennis Wales (TTW) as the National Governing Body for Table Tennis in Wales acknowledges that it has a duty of care to safeguard and protect the welfare of children participating in the sport and supports this by promoting to all members that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.

We want all to enjoy our sport in a safe and secure environment and we all have a duty to look out for any abuse and report it.

You can download a copy of our policy and procedures below. This is monitored continuously and we welcome any comments or feedback from adults and young people alike.

It is our aim to support clubs in ensuring their own policies and procedures are robust and we will liaise with them to provide this support. This is essential not only for the protection of children but also for clubs and club organisers themselves.
