Water Polo <strong>Queensland</strong> Policy <strong>State</strong>ment<br />
Children and Images<br />
Water polo <strong>Queensland</strong> in conjunction with Australian Water Polo Inc are committed to providing a safe, fun and<br />
enjoyable environment for all our children and young people to enjoy the sport of water polo. In this regard Water<br />
Polo <strong>Queensland</strong> endorses the policy of Australian Water Polo Inc which is listed below.<br />
Dear Parent/Spectator,<br />
AUSTRALIA WATER POLO INC POLICY STATEMENT<br />
CHILDREN & IMAGES<br />
Recently there have been some concerns from parents about the risks posed directly and indirectly to children and<br />
young people regarding people taking video and photographs of players in junior water polo competitions<br />
throughout Australia. It is very rare but evidence in Australia indicates that sometimes this information can end up<br />
being posted on an internet site or published in a magazine or newspaper where it may be used by unscrupulous<br />
people to target children.<br />
Australia Water Polo Inc understands that many parents or relatives that have children playing within junior<br />
competitions, may from time to time, take video or photographs of their child or friends for family mementos.<br />
Australia Water Polo Inc fosters the belief that providing a safe environment for all children who compete every<br />
week in competitions and tournaments across the country is of paramount importance. To help Australia Water<br />
Polo Inc provide a safer environment for our children we would request that parents join us in partnership to<br />
address the following strategies to make water polo a safer environment for our children:<br />
1. That all parents and spectators firstly ask the permission of the athlete’s parent / guardian prior to taking<br />
their image where practical. Ensure that they are aware of the way in which the image may be used prior to<br />
taking a photograph or video of their child. Do not use images of other children on internet web sites, and<br />
do not use names of children when displaying images in the public arena. Change rooms must be camerafree<br />
zones.<br />
2. As a parent if you notice inappropriate photographic behavior regarding people that you don’t know, then we<br />
suggest that you advise pool management and the coach/manager of your team immediately. We also<br />
suggest that you advise your state body of these concerns as soon as it is practically possible.<br />
3. Professional photographers must register with pool management and the tournament director or the event<br />

Australia Water Polo Inc would like to thank you for your understanding in helping us provide a safer sport for all<br />

Further to this, <strong>Queensland</strong> Water Polo Inc wish to advise that the following safety checks will be in place to ensure<br />
that reasonable control on the use of photographic and video recording equipment is adhered to.<br />
1) The appointment of an accredited licensed professional sports photographer who will be in attendance<br />
for all team photos and action photos. Parents wishing to purchase action photos of their child<br />
competing will need to advise the professional photographer of the cap number/s of their<br />
child/children and also the time of the game/s that they will be competing in.<br />
2) Any parent intending to either photograph or videotape their child/children competing will need to<br />
complete the following steps;<br />
a) On arrival at the venue where their child/children is competing, register with the tournament<br />
director. The registering parent will need to produce photographic identification to receive their<br />
wrist band. A driver’s license is suitable.<br />
i) On registration, the parent will be issued with a wrist band which they must wear whilst<br />
taking photos/video in the competition venue.<br />
<strong>Queensland</strong> Water Polo Inc would expect that all parents would join us in partnership to ensure a safe, fun and<br />
enjoyable environment for their children to compete in.
