Chichester Hash House Harriers Photographic Policy

Chichester Hash House Harriers recognise the need to ensure the welfare and safety of all young people and vulnerable adults attending its events.

As part of our commitment to ensure the safety of young people we will not permit photographs, video or other images including those taken via mobile phones of young people to be taken or used without the consent of the parents/carers and the young person.

Chichester Hash House Harriers will follow the England running guidance for the use of images of young people and will take all steps to ensure these images are used solely for the purposes they are intended which is the promotion and celebration of the activities of Chichester Hash House Harriers. If you become aware that these images are being used inappropriately you should inform a Joint Master - see http://www.chihhh.org.uk/contacts.php.

Best Practice Guidelines

Chichester Hash House Harriers recognise that publicity and pictures of young people enjoying running are essential to promote the sport and a healthy lifestyle. To facilitate this it is therefore essential that the following principles and rules should be observed.

Ensure parents/guardian/young person have granted their consent for the taking and publication of photographic images.
All young people must be appropriately dressed for the activity taking place.
Photography or recording should focus on the activity rather than a particular young person and personal details which might make a young person vulnerable, such as their exact address, must never be revealed.
Anyone taking photographs or recording at any running event must have a valid reason for doing so and seek the permission of the organisers/persons in charge.
Anyone taking photographs or recording should make themselves known to the event organisers/persons in charge and be able to identify themselves if requested during the course of the event.
All concerns regarding inappropriate or intrusive photography should be reported in confidence to a Joint Master - see http://www.chihhh.org.uk/contacts.php.
