I’ve been asked to republish this. Please bear in mind that social media bullying or sledging will also not be tolerated. Some posts may be upsetting or distasteful so please be aware.
Code of Practice for players
Table Tennis England expects that everyone involved with table tennis will respect the rights, dignity and worth of anyone they meet within our sport; treat everyone equally regardless of age, ability, gender, race, religion, ethnic origin, social status or sexual orientation; accept it is all of our responsibility to challenge any injustice that may occur within our sport; accept that everyone has the right to be protected from abuse.
