The LTA are launching a 1-year pilot of a LTA Young Person’s Welfare Ambassador Pilot role. The introduction of this voluntary role also forms part of our current safeguarding strategy with an aim to:

Provide a young person’s voice and perspective to promote safeguarding and welfare at LTA registered venues.

• Providing additional support in meeting the safeguarding standards by providing ideas and a child’s voice to raise safeguarding awareness amongst young people (and thus survey scores) across the venue

• Future proofing the club around safeguarding and welfare, with a focus on digital/social media
