Table Tennis NZ Integrity Framework

Introduction

In the dynamic world of the sport sector, Table Tennis leaders supported by an army of volunteers play a crucial role in fostering community engagement, promoting physical activity, and facilitating the development of sporting talents.

From ensuring the safety and well-being of participants to maintaining integrity in governance and operations, robust policies and procedures not only mitigate risks but also cultivate an environment of accountability, professionalism, and inclusivity.

By defining clear protocols for recruitment, training, protecting vulnerable participants, conflict resolution, and ethical conduct, our Table Tennis organisations not only enhance their effectiveness but also bolster public trust and credibility, ultimately advancing their mission of enriching lives through table tennis.

Within this landscape, the establishment and adherence to comprehensive policies and procedures are paramount. This framework serves as the backbone of our organisational structure, guiding our volunteers, staff, participants and their whanau, in navigating the multifaceted responsibilities and challenges inherent in sports-related initiatives.

These policies reinforce our values and encourage a culture of belonging, safety and equity.

The Table Tennis NZ Integrity Framework is incorporated within all of our policies. We require all affiliated associations and their member organisations within the Table Tennis NZ network to align with these policies and procedures in their own organisations thereby demonstrating their commitment to a safer, inclusive and more equitable sport for all those who engage in table tennis in NZ.
