Communication<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The following measures should be regarded as best practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Football Association of Wales understands and empathises that parents\/guardians may wish to celebrate their child\u2019s achievements on the field of play by capturing images or videos to this effect, and that footage can be a useful training tool for organisations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transporting Children <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The FAW encourages personnel not to take children on journeys alone in their car, but we recognise that in some circumstances it is an essential part of a child\u2019s participation in training and competition. If all alternatives have been exhausted and an adult must transport a child, there are a number of safety measures that should be put in place to minimise the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
