STATEMENT FOR THE USE OF PHOTOGRAPHIC & RECORDED IMAGES OF CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 18

Policy Statement

Devon Schools Badminton Association, is committed to providing a safe environment for

Children/young people under the age of 18 to participate in badminton.

Essential to this commitment, is to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to protect children/young people from the inappropriate use of photographic images.

Devon Schools Badminton Association have adopted the following good practice guidelines issued by BADMINTON England

           Publishing Images

•  through the use of a Consent Form, we will ask for the permission of young

           players and their carers to take and use their image. If a player is named, we will

           avoid using their photograph

• If a photograph is used; we will avoid naming the player.

•  

• We will NEVER publish personal details (email addresses, telephone numbers,

           addresses etc) of a child/young person

• We will only authorise the use of images of players in suitable dress (Tracksuit,

           on court clothing i.e. vests/shorts, off court clothing)

                                       Use of Photographic Filming Equipment at Badminton Events

          Devon Schools Badminton Association will:

• Inform players and parents that a photographer will be in attendance at an event

          and ensure they consent to both the taking and publication of films or photographs

• Require parents, spectators and authorised photographers (e.g. press) to register

          at an event if they wish to use any photographic equipment including mobile

          phones with photographic technology.

• Issue an identification pass which must be worn and clearly visible at all times

          during the event

•  

• Not allow unsupervised access to players or one to one photo sessions at events

• Not approve photo sessions outside the events or at a players home

• Act on the concerns of any players and parents regarding the inappropriate use

          of photographic equipment

• Inform children/young people and their parents/carers if video equipment is to be

          used as a coaching aid.

• Ensure that any photographic images taken and used will be stored safely
