Policies, Procedures & Guidelines

Creating a safer sport for all.

Table tennis is a sport where everyone can participate, belong and thrive. From young players taking their first steps in the sport to adults at risk, we are committed to creating an environment that is safe, inclusive and supportive.

Our policies, procedures and guidelines provide the framework to help everyone across table tennis understand their responsibilities, respond confidently to concerns and promote best practice. They are here to support players, parents, coaches, volunteers, officials and staff — and to help make safeguarding part of everyday sport.


In case of concern, please call our Safeguarding team on 01908 208860, option 3 or


DBS checks help us ensure that those working with children and adults at risk are suitable to do so. Find out when a DBS check is required, how to apply, updates and everything that you need to know about DBS.

Sharing the excitement of table tennis is fantastic for our community, but it’s important that we do so safely and responsibly. These specific guidelines provide clear and the most up to date advice.

Travelling should be a positive, and safe experience for all involved. These guidelines provide clear advice to players, coaches, volunteers and staff to understand their responsibilities.
