"Disclosure Scotland is a service designed to enhance public safety by providing potential employers and organisations within the voluntary sector with criminal history information on individuals applying for posts. Disclosure Scotland issues certificates - known as "Disclosures" - which give details of an individual's criminal convictions (and in the case of Enhanced Disclosures, where appropriate, non-conviction information) or state that they have none."

The NP Tae Kwon Do Academy has approved the following policy on photographs and videos :

The Club has identified the following circumstances under which photographic images of junior or rainbow students may be taken. This is meant to be an indicative list of circumstances provided for guidance and is not exhaustive or complete:-  

  • Video - training sessions, demonstrations, competitions, gradings and instructional videos
  • Action shots - General photos of students during training sessions, demonstrations, competitions, and gradings.
  • Team photographs - posed group photos
  • Awards and ceremonies
  • Press coverage - local newspapers and specialist Martial Arts press
  • Tours and competitions
  • Additionally, any of the above may be published on the NP Tae Kwon Do Academy website or club noticeboards.

Any parents/guardians who do not approve of the taking and use of photos, videos etc should inform their Instructor immediately. Those taken or used by NP Tae Kwon Do Academy itself being in accordance with full UTF Scotland  guidelines. The Club will not be responsible for photographs/videos taken or used by any third parties.

If a parent/guardian does not approve, then the Club reserves the right not to allow the relevant student to participate in events where they could be expected to be photographed/videoed. The Club may consider allowing the relevant student to participate provided their parent/guardian is present throughout and undertakes to supervise and monitor such child for the purposes of photos/videos. If the parent or guardian is unable to prevent unauthorised photographs/videos and is unhappy about this, they should immediately withdraw their student from the event concerned.

In the case of other clubs with whom the Club comes into contact (competitions/demonstrations/gradings etc), the Club will advise them that they should not allow their students to participate unless they have either parental approval in respect of photographs/videos or, absent that, an adult or guardian assigned to monitor such child as mentioned above.

Generally, the Club wishes to make it clear both to parents/guardians of its own students and also to other clubs that it will not be providing any photo-monitors for the purposes of controlling the taking of photographs or videos by third parties and if this causes concern to parents/guardians or to other clubs they will need to make their own provision.
