Photography and Video at Matches, Competitions, Festivals or
Similar Under the Control of Durham CSFA
If you are concerned about the
inappropriate use of images, please report this to the DCSFA Welfare Officer
who is Alan Johnston. (alanjohnston100@sky.com)
The following is viewed as being “best practice” by
DCSFA and is for guidance.
It should be considered together with guidance given
by the FA and the ESFA on their respective websites or can be viewed below.
DCSFA would recommend that if photography / videoing
is planned at games, competitions, festivals or similar, that the venue owner's
Policy on photography / videoing (venue owner - e.g., school, club ground,
local authority sports centre etc.) is checked by staff involved, understood
and permission sought.
Once agreement has been given by the venue owner,
staff from both teams (or in the case of a competition or Festival or similar -
all staff in charge of teams) should agree as to how and why photography / videoing
will take place and for what purpose, before beginning to photograph / video.
If an agreement cannot be reached, then it is
recommended that photography / videoing does not take place.
