At Giffnock Tennis Squash & Hockey Club we apply safeguarding standards beyond the minimum requirements of our three governing bodies. We recognise the importance of providing all members with a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment in which to play, train and socialise. Where we get this right, members, young and old, are able to have fun and enjoy their club to its fullest potential. 

Members can find all our policies, and associated guidance as well as sources of support and information here.
