full name of that person in the accompanying text or photo caption without
specific express permission from the parent or individual. |

to reduce the risk of such images being used inappropriately. |

Parents are responsible for their children during chess events. We will have enough volunteers to run the chess but none to look after children. The only exception is the short Hub session. |

Notes on Unacceptable Behaviour by Children |
| 7.01 |
Participants should be encouraged to develop a sense of right and wrong behaviour. |
| 7.02 |
Where unacceptable behaviour does take place, appropriate sanctions, decided by a consensus of responsible people present, should be applied to modify the behaviour. |
| 7.03 |
Sanctions applied to each case should take account of the age and stage of development of the young person, be given at the right time, be relevant to the action and be fair. |
| 7.04 |
The participant must always be told why the behaviour is unacceptable and the reasons for applying a particular sanction |
| 7.05 |
Corporal punishment (smacking, slapping or shaking) is illegal and therefore should never be used. It is permissible to take necessary physical action in an emergency to prevent personal injury, either to the young person, other participants or adults, or serious damage to property |
| 7.06 |
Participants should not be shouted at directly, though raising of the voice is permissible in instances where it is necessary to be heard |
