At Mutford United FC Under 12’s we take the issue of child safety very seriously, and this includes the use of images of players.

Including images of players on the club website can be motivating for the players involved, and provide a good opportunity to promote the good play of the team. However, we have a duty of care towards the children, which means that the player must remain unidentifiable, reducing the risk of inappropriate contact, if images are used in this way.

In accordance with the The FA Guidelines on Child Protection and Use of images of children/young people under the age of 18 we have removed all images from the website. See downloads for further information.

We have drafted a "Parents Consent Form" asking for permission to show images of the players in accordance with the FA Guideline. So that we be able to display squad pictures etc. (without names). This will be handed out at the next game, or alternatively it can be downloaded from the downloads page.

Once parental consent has been given, then the photographs will be re-published.
