We may photograph events that Footwork host or are involved in and we will inform participants that this is the case either by notice or specific forms. Participants have the right to withdraw their consent by following the instructions given.

From time to time we may request images from those we work with to promote the work that we support through our communication channels. In accessing images, we will make every effort to ensure suitable permissions, accreditation and compliance with GDPR are satisfied before use of the images.

We expect charities we partner with, especially those working with vulnerable groups and young people - should have their own media permission forms in place with their beneficiaries.
