Child Welfare and Protection Procedures
Newtown Park Tennis Club 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. Documents were approved and signed off by the Committee in October 2025
A hard copy of the full policy and detailed guidelines on recruitment, reporting, recording accidents/incidents, away trips and use of photography etc, is available in the club house.
Newtownpark Tennis Club is not responsible for supervision of children other than at organised Junior coaching, junior camps and junior tournaments.
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 are John Kirwan (087 2030247) and Ann-Marie Walsh (083 8142777).
