    Hi there! If either of you two have any questions or queries about the images and text provided by the RFU-registered Corsham Junior Rugby Club, I'm sure they'd be more than happy to speak to you. You can find more information about the club and also their contact details by visiting http://tinyurl.com/7dc82uc Also, if you know of any other local clubs who want to promote themselves or share their triumphs, do encourage them to join and post their content.

    Get a life Honestguv. These were put on by the Corsham Junior Rugby Team. I understood if you were in a public place - see the case involving Elton John - a photo could be used.

    RFU/RFUW Best Practice Guidelines
    The Rugby Football Union (RFU) and the Rugby Football Union for Women (RFUW)
    recognises that publicity and pictures of young people enjoying rugby are essential to
    promote the sport and a healthy lifestyle. To facilitate this it is therefore essential that the
    following principles and rules should be observed.
    These Best Practice Guidelines have been developed to provide clubs, schools and
    Constituent Bodies with advice and guidance on the use of images of young people.
    It is recommended that this is adopted by clubs and Constituent Bodies and the eight
    golden rules outlined in these guidelines below are made available to as many people
    as possible. The whole policy is available at http://tinyurl.com/6l25zj
    Any change to these guidelines will be notified via the RFU/RFUW website and in any
    relevant publications. Please remember that the safety and enjoyment of young people is
    paramount in all your activities and the Best Practice Guidelines have been designed to
    help you in this.
    The RFU/RFUW is committed to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for young
    people. Implicit in this is the commitment to ensure that all publications, resources and
    media represent participants appropriately and with due respect. By adopting the points
    outlined in these guidelines you will be putting in place the best possible practice to protect
    young people wherever photographs or recorded images are taken and stored.
    http://tinyurl.com/6l25zj/community
    The eight golden rules that will ensure compliance with the policy on photographic images
    are as follows:
    1. Ensure parents/guardian/young person have granted their consent for the taking and
    publication of photographic images and have signed and returned the Parent/
    Guardian and Young Person Permission Form. It is strongly recommended
    that the relevant form is incorporated into the annual club registration form
    and will therefore only need to be completed once a year.
    2. All young people must be appropriately dressed for the activity taking place.
    3. Photography or recording should focus on the activity rather than a particular young
    person and personal details which might make a young person vulnerable, such as
    their exact address, must never be revealed.
    4. Where an individual has achieved success in the game (e.g. when selected for
    representative side or showing triumph over adversity) permission must be gained
    from parent/guardian and young person to use photographs/recordings and
    relevant details.
    5. 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.
