​

The club recognises the need to ensure the welfare and safety of all young people in Basketball. In accordance with the club and Basketball England policy, where possible we will not permit photographs, film, video, or other images of children or to be taken or to be used without the consent of the child and their parents/guardians.

We will follow the guidance for these of photographic and recorded images of children, a copy of which is in the Basketball England Safeguarding Policy.  If at any time either the parent/ guardian or the young person wishes their images to be removed from a website or future publications, this should be communicated in writing to the Jo Cullingworth (Club Welfare Officer) OR Rebecca Peebles (Club Secretary).

 

The club will take all steps to ensure these images are used solely for the purposes they were intended.  Where the club has obtained parental and player consent, the club may give permission to the opposition to take images during a game. If you become aware that these are being used inappropriately you should inform the club immediately.
