Safeguarding young people

There have been concerns about the risks to children and young people when their images are used on websites (including on social networking sites and YouTube etc.) and in publications; in order to reduce these risks we follow a few simple guidelines (based upon those suggested by the NSPCC) which will reduce the potential for concern. Therefore we:

  • Avoid using both the name and the photograph of a young person in a publication or on a website.
  • Seek parental permission (by sending you this letter)
  • Only allow photographs to be taken of suitably dressed subjects and in appropriate situations
  • Follow Young People First (the Yellow Card) at all times (you are very welcome to see a copy of our yellow card if you wish – please speak with your section leader).
