Photographs or videos being published against parental request
Young People

Any requests received for young people not to be photographed are to be replied to, asking for a clear, recent photograph, ideally including group neckerchief to be sent to nophotos@shirejam.org.uk.

The media team we will endeavour to spot such young people and not publish photographs or videos of them, particularly close ups but this cannot be guaranteed at such a large event.

We will also request that the young people concerned are made aware of the fact that photos and videos are being taken are being taken throughout the event and where possible they take steps to avoid being filmed, such as stepping aside, informing their leader or the media team volunteer.


Safeguarding - in particular we have a single young person within the team
Everyone

Always follow Scouts Association Guidance (Yellow Card) and all other event policies.

Whilst the media team has a single young person there is a particular need to be careful not to be alone  1 to 1 with them.

The media team is co-located with the operations centre which should be continuously staffed.
Similarly when out on site filming there will be plenty of other adults present
Care should be taken in other circumstances to ensure that no 1 to 1 situation occurs elsewhere.
