Publication of Photographs

During the course of the year, we take many photographs of events, activities and presentations involving the members of the Scout Group. We would, on occasions like to publish these in our own newsletters, in the local press (normally the Hayling Islander and occasionally the Portsmouth News) and also on our website in order to inform people what we have been up to, and more importantly to celebrate the presentation of a top award or other significant achievement. There are for example many ex-members of the Group who keep in touch with us via the Islander and more recently the web site.

Although not a legal requirement, we are following good practice as identified by the Child Protection agencies in giving all parents the opportunity to ask that their child’s photograph not be included in any of our reporting.

Photographs have always been an important part of our memories and being able to capture activities and achievements for our history and to inform others. We would very much like to maintain this tradition, but I know that some people are not comfortable with photographs appearing on web sites or in newspapers

The link below will take you to an online form that you can complete and submit should YOU NOT WISH any photographs of your child(ren) to be included in our communications. I will then ensure that all of our leaders are aware as they move through our sections.

If you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact either your leader or myself, Ian Hawke.
