Important Notice regarding photographs and video footage taken during Alderney Week
The Alderney Week Team is always committed to playing its part in protecting the interests and well-being of children on the Island. We respect the needs and wishes of children who are visitors to Alderney events and their parents/guardians. Inevitably, in events such as these, photographs/video footage will be taken by members of the press and public over which we have limited control and parents/guardians are asked to bear this in mind.
The Alderney Week Team accepts no responsibility for such activity and parents must exercise their own judgement and supervision if they object to images being taken. Moreover, as the organisers, we will take photographs/footage of scenes during Alderney Week and any Alderney Week-related events with the intention of using them in future publicity such as the Alderney Week website, the official programme, posters and all other promotional material produced by the Alderney Week Team, as well as for general media reporting.
When doing so, every effort will be made to avoid identifiable close-up shots of individuals but inclusion of your child or children in a distant or group shot is likely to be unavoidable. In attending, or in allowing your child to attend Alderney events therefore, you are deemed to consent to the taking of such photographs/footage.
