Creating a safer sport for all.

Table tennis is a sport for everyone, a place to participate, belong and thrive. From young players taking their first steps in the sport to adults who may need extra support, we are committed to creating an environment that is safe, inclusive and welcoming for all.

This page brings together the safeguarding policies, procedures, guidelines and forms that set out how we do this in practice, along with wider guidance on DBS checks, travel. social media and photography. Whether you're a player, parent, coach, volunteer, official or member of staff, you'll find what's relevant to your role here.

DBS checks help ensure that everyone working with children and adults are suitable to do so. Find out about DBS, including when a check is required, support, how to apply, and everything else you need to know. Visit the dedicated DBS page for further support.

Sharing the excitement of table tennis is fantastic for our community, but it's important we do so safely and responsibly. These guidelines provide clear, up to date advice on using social media, live streaming and photography appropriately.

Travelling should be a positive, and safe experience for all involved. These guidelines provide clear advice to players, coaches, volunteers and staff on their responsibilities while travelling. For more information and support visit the travel guidelines page.
