Description:

This course is for all Level 1-5 Coaches and Welfare Officers looking to either join/renew coach accreditation or to get the safeguarding pre-requisite. You will also need to complete this course if your last safeguarding course was the LTA refresher 'Safeguarding in Tennis Together'. **

This is currently a virtual classroom (equivalent to a face to face course) hosted via Zoom.

You will be sent a Zoom link via email 24 hours prior to the course starting.  Please ensure the email address on your LTA profile is up to date and that you check your spam inbox to ensure you receive the joining instructions.

You do not need to print off anything before the course but may need to write notes as you go along. A handout will be provided after the course.

-----

If you have completed face-to-face safeguarding training within the last 3 years you can take the online safeguarding module  Safeguarding In Tennis Together to renew.  Please ensure you book onto the right version, as there are role specific versions (i.e. one for coaches, one for Welfare Officers etc).
