Clubs should provide guidance to everyone associated with club about social media use. This could be as simple as adopting the National Governing Body’s guidance or the club could seek guidance from external organisations. See the General section of the Safeguarding 1 Refresher for contacts and advice.

Parents often want to be able to celebrate the achievements of their children when taking part in sporting activities by taking photographs or videos. Sports organisations may also want to promote their activities to encourage increased participation. Sport NI and Sport Ireland do not advocate the banning of photography and the use of images and videos of children, but recommends that appropriate and proportionate safeguards should be in place to ensure a safe sporting environment for children and young people.

It is not the role of the club to organise transport however the club may choose to do so. Many clubs could not operate without the goodwill of volunteers and parents ensuring that children are transported to events and returned home in a private car. Where individual parents transport for their own child or arrangements made with other parents this is a personal arrangement and not a matter for the club. However where a club has appointed drivers they should be vetted through AccessNI/National Vetting Bureau if driving regularly, and therefore meeting the regulated activity criteria.
