BRITISH GYMNASTICS CHILD PROTECTION PROCEDURES
USE OF VIDEO, FILM OR PHOTOGRAPHY AT BRITISH GYMNASTICS EVENTS
- POLICY STATEMENT -
Foreword: The vast majority of people involved in gymnastics and trampoline activities derive their interest and pleasure from the performances and enjoyment shown by the participants. A British Gymnastics event, by its very nature is in the public arena and when entering for the event, the participant acknowledges this fact, which will include the recording of his/her image, since there is already an acceptance that at least professionally approved photographer, may take photographs. British Gymnastics does not wish to discourage the use of video or photographic equipment at events for appropriate use, but we will take all reasonable precautions to protect our members against the possible inappropriate use of films or photographic images. British Gymnastics has therefore introduced procedures, which require all persons wishing to use video or photographic equipment at a British Gymnastics event, to apply for permission, preferably prior to the event.
Photography Accreditation for British Gymnastics National Events:
The permission to film, video or take photographic images is given on the basis that the person given the permission agrees not to cause or permit, directly or indirectly, any of the images to be published, shown, sold, distributed or otherwise disposed of by any method without prior written consent from [British Gymnastics or] the individual(s) concerned.
Any person wishing to use a video or film or take photographs at an event must register their intentions with and provide proof of identity to, the registration desk at the event. A person wishing to take images with a mobile phone must register the device as a camera at the registration desk. British Gymnastics or the organiser of the event may in its discretion, and without giving any reason, refuse to register any person and give that person permission to film or use a video or take photographs at the event.
A British Gymnastics Region or Home Nation may operate their own annual accreditation system and issue an Identification/Accreditation card. A valid card may be presented to the registration desk and will be accepted for accreditation at the particular event.
Failure to comply with the above will result in the individual being refused entry or being required to leave the premises, or deposit the camera or other equipment with the registration desk or the event organiser until the individual leaves the event. If the camera or other equipment has been used at the event, the registration desk or the event organiser may require the film to be delivered or it to be destroyed or the recording to be deleted. The registration desk or the event organiser may refuse to return any such equipment to the individual until the film has been delivered to it or the recording has been deleted. The individual will not be entitled to any refund of the entry charge if he or she is refused entry or required to leave.
If the event organiser/welfare officer or their representative suspects inappropriate photography or filming, they will request the person to leave the venue and to surrender any film relating to the event.
The list of registered persons will be returned to British Gymnastics to be confidentially archived, to facilitate any enquiries by police or social services or any enquiries by British Gymnastics in respect of any breach of this policy statement.
A copy of these rules and procedures will be displayed at the event and included in the programme
Anyone wishing to take photographs or video at a competition MUST pre-register - registration can no longer be accepted on the day. There is a photography pre-registration form included with this pack (or emailed separately) - please submit it with the competition entry form. Team managers must collect photography passes at check in on the day of the competition.
