Photo Consent Policy

This is a starting draft prepared for the website launch. Please review it with the committee – and a legal adviser if needed – before the site goes public.

Last updated: 28 October 2026

Why we take photos

Photos help us share the life of our community and invite more families to take part. We want everyone to feel comfortable, so we follow these rules.

Consent at events

Events where photos will be taken are announced in advance. If you prefer not to appear in published photos, tell a volunteer at registration or the event photographer, and we will not publish photos in which you can be identified.

Children

We publish photos of children only with a parent’s or guardian’s consent, and we never publish a child’s name with their photo.

How photos are used

Photos may appear in the website gallery, in Community News and on the community’s social media channels. We do not sell photos or let others use them for advertising.

Asking for a photo to be removed

Use the Contact page, choose “Photos & removal requests” and include a link to the photo. We aim to remove it within three working days.

Sharing your own photos

When you send us photos, you confirm that you took them and that the people in them are happy for them to be shared.
