Where possible, to reflect the RFU/RFUW Equity Policy, photographs/recordings should represent the diverse range of young people participating in rugby. 6. Anyone taking photographs or recording at any rugby event must have a valid reason for doing so and seek the permission of the organisers/persons in charge. 7. Anyone taking photographs or recording should make themselves known to the event organisers/persons in charge and be able to identify themselves if requested during the course of the event. 8. All concerns regarding inappropriate or intrusive photography should be reported in confidence to the RFU Child Protection Manager via the Rugby Club or Constituent Body Welfare Manager.
