3. Using Photographs on the website and Social Media
From time to time the Thames Sailing Club would like to post photos on the website and Social media (Facebook). In most instances but not exclusively these photos may be of children involved in sailing activities. The purpose of the policy is to protect and safeguard children and young people and identify any breaches swiftly.
Parents/Caregivers will be asked to sign a consent form. Verbal consent alone will not be accepted under any circumstance. If parental/Caregiver consent is not given, we will inform members of those who are not to be photographed.
Images will focus on the activity, rather than individual children and young people where possible. Photographs will not be published on the website, print media or social media with the full name(s) of children and young people. First names only will be used where needed and no detailed personal information will be used.
The Club will inform children and young people on the day that photographs may be taken, the purpose of the photos and their right to not be photographed.
Images will be kept secure and not shared with any other person or organisation without the consent of the Parent or Caregiver.
