The 1stBmthBB Website has been created to enhance the work of the 1st Bournemouth Boys' Brigade Company. It is designed to provide the following services:
to aid and assist with the day-to-day activities of the Company.
to provide an additional link for families, friends and of the Company.
to be a positive reflection and a good advertisment of our Company
The 1st Bournemouth Company acknowledges its obligation to provide a safe environment in all circumstances and to ensure that its members are properly protected. To this aim, the following guidelines have been created for use in the design and selection of internet page content:
Members will not normally be identified by name and in no circumstances will contact details be given. However there are situations where it is desirable to give a name, such as awards and presentations. In these situations, names will be used only after due consideration, as is done with local press reports.
The use of names for members under the age of eighteen is restricted to first name and initial only, and may only be associated with a photograph if the photograph contains more than one person.
As a matter of good practice the views of parents are taken into account. A brief statement to this affect is included in the Annual Consent Form: 'The Company has its own website and it is possible that your son may appear in photographs of Company activities. Care will be taken to ensure that addresses of individual boys are not given. However if you would prefer your son not to be included in such photographs please indicate below.'
If individual members indicate that they do not wish to appear on the website then that wish will be respected.
Images of members will either be restricted to group shots or in an individual shot the image resolution of the face will be limited to a width of around twenty pixels. The nature, suitability and sensitivity of all images will be carefully considered.
Access to any information held on the website will be made available upon request to all those concerned.
Personal information will not be included. This includes information, which might lead to personal associations, such as a member's likes or dislikes.
No contact details will be included in the content of a webpage for members under the age of eighteen. Correspondence will only be via a series of e-mail addresses maintained by the 1stBmthBB Web Team. In the case of members under the age of eighteen no links to member run websites will be included.
Material on this site may be downloaded or printed for private use by members of The Boys' Brigade or its kindred organisations worldwide, provided that the details of the source are always retained. In other cases, please contact 1st Bournemouth Boys' Brigade at the address given below for approval of a proposed use.
