Photos

Recording & Publishing Images Policy:

We encourage coaches, parents and friends to take pictures and videos. We believe that this can encourage children to take part in tennis, record special moments in their tennis development, and be a useful aid in coaching and development.

• Parents, carers and spectators who want to take photos or videos are required to obtain the consent of the parents of all children involved.
• Coaches who wish to take photos or videos at an event, or publish images after the event, must obtain consent from parents, explaining why they are taking the images and what they will be used for.
• Coaches may use video equipment as a legitimate coaching method. Tennis players and their parents or carers should be made aware if this forms part of the tennis programme, and any such recording must be destroyed after use.

If anyone has concerns about inappropriate photography, this should be reported immediately to the event organiser or the Club Welfare Office, who will follow our Safeguarding procedures.

Appropriate Images:

All children featured in photographs or recordings must be:

• Appropriately dressed with clothing covering their torso from their neck to thighs, e.g. a t-shirt and shorts or skirt.
• Featured with people engaging in tennis.
• Recorded in groups with other children or adults where possible.
• Representative of the diversity across tennis, with regard to age, gender, ethnicity and disability.
• Identified using their first name only, although it is preferable that their name is not given.
