Policy for Photography at Rawreth Juniors Table Tennis Club

 

 

Introduction

 

·        This document is a statement of the principles around Photography and Videography at the Rawreth Juniors Table Tennis Club.

 

·        It was developed during June 2009.

 

·        This policy will be reviewed on a 6 monthly basis commencing Dec 09.

 

The Policy

 

Photography and the use of Videography in areas where children are, has been a topic of discussion in the media, due to some people misusing images taken. Where photography/videography are referred to below, it includes the use of all photographic equipment including cameras and videos within mobile phones.

 

Advice has been given from Local Authority about data protection and at Rawreth Juniors Table Tennis Club, we have decided that:

 

  • The use of photography/videography within the sessions can be disruptive and will be used rarely.  Permission will need to be obtained from the coach running the session in advance of the session.  RJTTC reserve the right to decline any request should they feel it appropriate to do so.

 

  • We will allow parents/guardians/coaches/professional photographers/videographers to photograph and video the juniors during their table tennis session where appropriate.

 

  • Any coach or professional photographer carrying out photography/videography will have obtained CRB checking and clearance and will be will be clearly identified to the Juniors before photography/videography takes place.

 

  • Should a parent/guardian wish to photograph/video their junior playing during the session, every effort will be made by RJTTC to ensure that the junior is photographed/videod in isolation.  This parent/guardian will be will be clearly identified to the Juniors before photography/videography takes place.

 

  • We will continue to use photographs/videos to celebrate achievements of our juniors, such as on newsletters, our club website and were appropriate the press. 

 

  • When using photographs on our website available to the wider population, discretion will be shown when selecting them.  No names will be used.  On parts of our website that can only be accessed by member login, we will display photos that are available just to our Rawreth Juniors community.

 

Parents/Guardians do have the right to request that their junior is not photographed/videod.  RJTTC will make every effort to ensure the junior is still able to participate in the session, however occasionally, it may mean that they cannot participate whilst the photography/videography is taking place.   

 

  Many thanks,

  Andy Nunn
