Welfare Policies

At DDWSC we are fully committed to ensuring the safety of all our members both on and off the court.

  • All club coaches and volunteers are vetted via the Disclosure Scotland PVG Scheme.
  • We have extensive insurance cover in place for all the sports we offer. As with any sport, players take to the court at their own risk and are advised to take out personal injury cover, mitigating against the effect that an accidental injury could have on their daily lives.
  • The club is fully compliant with the Data Protection Act (2018) & GDPR legislation and all sensitive information is held securely.
  • Coaches are encouraged to take part in continuing education programmes.
  • All club coaches and volunteers receive an annual safeguarding and welfare briefing.
