Use of Photography, Video, and Live Streaming

Inline with the ECB's "PHOTO, VIDEO AND LIVE STREAMING GUIDANCE FOR LEAGUES, CLUBS AND COUNTIES", we have updated our club policies as follows:

We wish to promote positive images of senior and junior people playing cricket, and we will take steps in an effort to avoid inappropriate photos or film footage being taken.

By completing the Pitchero Registration Form you give the Club permission to use images and live streams in newsletters, newspapers, the Club’s website, Play-Cricket, YouTube, Bluesky, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, and other channels promoting and celebrating the activities of the Club. We will avoid using a junior's name and photo together unless we have permission from the parent / carer.

The Club has introduced live streaming for senior matches, and occasionally we will also use video recording to analyse performance. Care will be taken in the storage of videos and by completing the Pitchero Registration Form you are giving consent to such use.

Please note that juniors playing up in senior sides may be live streamed by the Club at any of the home grounds that the Club is playing at, or by the opposition during away matches and by completing the Pitchero Registration Form you are giving consent to such use.

Camera positioning: if you are playing in a match at Park Lane the camera is permanently fixed to the clubhouse and faces the nets / Blue Anchor pub. If you are playing at St Albans Road, the camera is situated beside the site screen at the far end of the pitch as you enter the ground.

Please be aware then that at Park Lane, you are likely to be filmed if you walk the boundary from the Nets area round to the Blue Anchor / Pilgrim Brewery / Reigate Priory Croquet Club.

At St Alban's Road you are likely to be filmed if you walk the boundary from the Pavilion along the hedge bordering St Albans Road, round to the boundary opposite the Pavilion.

Live streams are posted on Play-Cricket (rp.play-cricket.com) along with video clip highlights, and they are also posted to our YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/@reigatepriorycc). It is possible that this material is used on other websites, our social channels, and in other promotional campaigns.

Every effort is made to ensure that no unofficial photographs or recordings are made or streamed by players, umpires, scorers or anyone else in order to ensure compliance with the club’s policies, League policies (where applicable) and the law. That said, it is impossible for the club to stop to stop all photographs or recordings by all attendees at the ground, however we remind parents / carers and others attending matches that they do not have the automatic right to stream or post images of other people’s children online. Please also be cautious about tagging other children in any posts that you upload.

Please email PhotosVideoStreaming@reigatepriorycc.co.uk if you wish any image or video to be removed from the club website or other website that we control and the Club will make every effort to comply.

Child protection and safeguarding protocols must be followed when junior players or adults at risk in cricket are on the field when filming or photography takes place. If any player or player’s parent has indicated that they are not to be photographed or filmed we will consider the reasons given and where there is risk of harm to the player neither photography nor filming of him or her will be allowed. Should we find out after the fact, we will endeavour to comply as quickly as possible.

We seek not to capture audio with our live streaming, and at Park Lane the NV-Play camera on the clubhouse does not have any audio capability. Our mobile camera that is used at St Albans Road and elsewhere does capture audio, however recordings are normally set not to record audio. It could happen that the club live streams with audio, however please inform PhotosVideoStreaming@reigatepriorycc.co.uk for the club to remove the relevant audio post transmission of the match if it has occurred.

Use of Photography, Video and Live Streaming

Please refer to the separate policy: "Use of Photography, Video, and Live Streaming policy".

Changing Policy

Particularly when older boys play in senior sides, there may be circumstances under which players under the age of 16 years find themselves changing clothes in the presence of persons over 18 years. If any parent or player is not comfortable with this arrangement then it is their responsibility to ensure the following:

Young players who do not wish to change or shower with adults are under no obligation to do so and are advised to change and shower at home
Parent consent must be given if young players are to share changing facilities with adults
It is the responsibility of the parent concerned to ensure that their child does not enter changing facilities at any time if consent is not given.

Junior players playing adult (‘open age’) cricket

Any player in the Under 13 age group must have explicit written consent from a parent or guardian before participating in open age cricket.

Written consent will be deemed as given if the Pitchero Registration Form has been completed.

No junior cricketers younger than Under 13 can play in open age cricket with or without written consent, except in the case of a player selected in a County Under 12 team who is eligible to play open age cricket with written parental and coach permission in exceptional circumstances with prime consideration being the child’s safety and wellbeing.
