Guidelines on the taking and use of photographic and recording images of young people

20/3/2014

 
Policy on the Taking and Use of Photographic and Recorded Images of Young People
Tyne and Wear County Netball Association (TWCNA) adopts England Netball’s policy for the taking and use of photographic and recorded images of young people and works in accordance with the following statement:

Introduction
TWCNA does not wish to prevent parents or other spectators being able to take legitimate photographs or recorded images. Use of recorded images can also be a valuable coaching aid. However, TWCNA is committed to providing a safe environment for young people under the age of 18. Included in this commitment is ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to protect young people from the inappropriate use of their images in resources and media publications, on the Internet, and elsewhere.

Photographic and recorded images can be used as a means of identifying young people if accompanied by personal information. This has the potential to make a young person vulnerable to individuals seeking to ‘groom’ young people for abuse. Additionally, images can be used or adapted for inappropriate use. There is evidence of adapted sporting images being used on websites displaying images of child abuse.

If the answer is YES... then we want to hear from you! In the North East, we're looking to put together a resource, 'By Coaches for Coaches'

If you'd like to be part of this, please send a description of your drill (along with diagrams if possible) to; north.east@englandnetball.co.uk

Please may I ask that you forward this email on to anyone who may be interested in submitting a drill or practice for this resource.

If you have any questions about what we are trying to do, or have any questions with regards to submitting a drill, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Gemma Sandberg; gemma.sandberg@englandnetball.co.uk .

Thank you very much and we look forward to receiving your drill.

Anna Mayes targets world domination for England's netball team.

14/10/2013

 
Picture
Young coach earmarks 2014 Commonwealth Games as first step for a sport that is thriving despite its lack of Olympic status.

When England's netball coach Anna Mayes was 16 she had one ambition. "I told my mum I wanted to coach England," laughs the 32-year-old. Two years ago Mayes was appointed to that very role, having already worked with the Under 21s, and her approach has yielded phenomenal results. In Mayes' first month England won the world series, and earlier this year her side whitewashed the world champions, Australia, in a 3-0 series win (previously England had only ever beaten Australia twice, in 1981 and in 2010). England remain unbeaten in 2013.

Despite the fact that most of England's players work or study full-time Mayes, herself an autoethnography PhD student, leads a squad that is wholeheartedly professional in its outlook. Players such as the captain, Pamela Cookey, now fit in morning and evening training sessions around their day jobs, in Cookey's case a demanding role as a site services manager working for an aircraft manufacturer. From the outset the Swindon-born coach outlined an unwavering vision of where the sport should be heading. "I wanted to do something in English netball that had never been done before," she says now, "so in 2019 our mission statement is: we want to be world champions."

Tyne and Wear County Netball Association currently covers the three Local Authorities of Newcastle, Gateshead and North Tyneside, it does not cover the authorities of South Tyneside and Sunderland. An experienced and motivated committee lead the development of netball in the county with a part time NDO and full time NDCC who has covered Newcastle Local Authority in the last 2 years. A number of committee members serve the Regional Technical Support Groups as members or Chairs and therefore have good communication with other Counties in the Region.
