Uses
Streams, Photographs and Recordings may be useful training and marketing tools but they are not to be used to question decisions of umpires or as a Decision Referral System. The primary purpose of the Streams, Photographs and Recordings should not be for use in disciplinary hearings although incidental use for this purpose may be appropriate in some cases.
No content captured by BVCC may be used to embarrass, belittle, harass or bully any person or persons.
Parents / carers should not be prevented from taking pictures of, or filming, children, young people and players. These are normal family practices and help mark milestones in a player’s life and can enhance a player and his or her family’s enjoyment of cricket significantly.
FCC however, remind parents / carers and others attending matches that they do not have the automatic right to stream or post images of other people’s children online. They should also be cautious about tagging other children in any posts that they upload.
Child protection and safeguarding protocols must be followed if junior players or adults at risk in cricket are on the field when filming or photography takes place. If any player’s parent has indicated that they are not to be photographed or filmed you should consider the reasons given and where there is risk of harm to the player neither photography nor filming of him or her should be allowed.
Concerns regarding inappropriate, or intrusive, photography at a match should be reported to the Club Welfare Officer. The Club Welfare Officer should deal with this immediately by talking to the person concerned and asking them to desist. If the Club Welfare Officer is not present a responsible adult from the club should do so. All such incidents should be recorded and reported in the same manner as any other safeguarding concern. Children should be informed that if they have concerns they can report these to the coach or team manager.
