Privacy and Photo Consent 📷

If you have not given consent for your child’s photo to be used in advertising or on social media, your child will be provided with a fluoro yellow ribbon and pin to wear on club nights. This helps us easily identify the children so we can blur their face in any images they may appear in while we get to know everyone this season.

Please ensure your child is wearing their ribbon during club nights once provided with a ribbon, so we can maintain your family’s privacy as best we can.

We encourage you to re-use the same ribbon each week, keep it handy with your age flash! If you forget or misplace it, please ask for a replacement on club night. Ribbons should be placed in the centre of your child’s shirt so they’re easy for us to spot in images.

Thank you for helping us protect your child’s privacy!
