KEY PRINCIPLES ​

 

Stroud Sharks Basketball Club is committed to providing a safe environment for children to participate. Essential to this commitment is to ensure that all necessary steps are taken to prevent inappropriate images being taken or innocent images being adapted for inappropriate use.

​

Please note the term ‘images’ refers to photographs and videos captured by any device.

 

The key principles are:

  • The interests and welfare of children taking part in basketball are paramount;

  • Parents/guardians and children should consent for images to be taken and used;

  • Parents/guardians and children have a right to decide if their images are to be taken, and how those images may be used;

  • Consent only lasts for one year and is not indefinite;

  • Images should convey the best principles and aspects of basketball, such as fairness and fun;

  • Care should be taken to ensure that images are appropriate and not open to obvious misinterpretation or misuse;

  • Excessive personal information accompanying images could place a child at risk.

  • Images should never be taken in changing rooms;

  • Images should only be taken by authorised persons, as agreed in the protocol for a particular event;

  • Unsupervised access to children or one to one photo sessions should not be approved.

  • All images of children will be securely stored;

  • In the case of images used on websites, particular care must be taken to ensure that no identifying details facilitate contact with a child by a potential abuser.
