As part of our safeguarding practices, the Club has approved a Photography and Filming policy which covers the capture and use of photographic, video or other images at tennis coaching, competitions and/or other events run by the Club at the club courts.  It can also apply at other locations when members/children are representing Gretna.   You can download a copy here

The Club is keen to promote positive images of individuals playing tennis and is not preventing the use of photographic or videoing equipment. However, as some people may use sporting events as an opportunity to take inappropriate photographs or film footage, it was necessary for the Club to adopt the policy and the procedures it contains to ensure a safe environment to play tennis.

Please note that this document also applies to photographic, video or other images taken by the Coaching team that operates on Gretna courts.  All references to “the Club” should therefore be taken on this occasion to also apply to the Coaching team led by Mark Sindall.  The Club and its coaches will work together to ensure that the policy is operated properly between us.

Photography and Filming Consent form

The Club will always ask for written consent before taking and using a child's image.  Any such images will be securely stored and access will be limited to those in the Club who operate our social media and website.  

This form is based on the LTA template but as described above has been customised to cover both club events and coaching sessions instead of using two separate forms. It is also part of the club registration form, found here

If you have any concerns about this process and/or images are being taken inappropriately, please contact our Club Welfare Officer, Anne Marie Hawrylkiw on our contacts page
