DO:

• Obtain permission from the child or young person's parent/carer before taking any photos or videos. Approval could include electronic messaging formats such as email or SMS

• Where appropriate, and possible, obtain consent form the child or young person

• Ensure the context in which you are taking photos or videos of children or young people is directly related to their participation in dragon boat and will only be used for official purposes

• Ensure the child or young person is appropriately dressed and posed

• Appoint a photographer/videographer who holds a current WWCC and ensure they are supervised at all times 

• Store images (digital or hard copy) in a way that prevents unauthorised access by others and destroy or delete the images as soon as they are no longer required

• Speak up if you see someone acting suspiciously 

DON'T

• Leave the training or regatta until all children and young people have been collected by their parent/carer
