Friendship circle works with children and vulnerable people with a range of disability. All information heard at Friendship Circle about participants is confidential. Any photos taken at Friendship Circle are also confidential as some parents do not allow photos of their children to be used in a public forum.

These guidelines help to protect you and the participants when online and on social media including phones.

• You may only use a photo of a Friendship Circle Participant if this photo has already been posted by FC staff onto social media.
• You may only take photos of participants at FC if you are specifically asked to do so or if it is of a participant engaging in the activity.
• All of these photos must be sent to a member of FC staff and deleted from your phone.
• If you befriend participants on social media, FC is unable to protect you from any inappropriate or unwanted messages or attention.
• This applies also to giving out your phone number.
