This guidance does not constitute legal advice and is subsidiary to local law, regulation and best practice. The ITF advises each Regional and National Association and tournament organisers to take advice on local law, regulation and best practice to ensure that its tournament security and player protection and welfare policies are lawful and fit for purpose. Neither the ITF nor the Committee shall be held liable for any loss or damage caused as a result of reliance upon this guidance where to do so would be contrary to local law, regulation and best practice. The Safety/Security System should include: A written security plan which considers: o An emergency evacuation plan (in case of fire, power failure, natural disaster, political instability or other circumstances that pose a substantial safety risk to on-site personnel) o Contact numbers for local authorities/police/emergency services o Reliable communication systems, such as mobile telephones, walkie-talkies or other devices, capable of operation in an emergency o A nominated person responsible for coordinating security matters and any security related incidents which may arise Restricted/controlled access o There should be a clear separation between public access areas for spectators and restricted access for tournament personnel, officials, players and player support teams
