Documentary & Public Media
Optional participation, consent and safeguarding information
Last updated: 17 September 2026
This page is about optional documentary and public-media participation.
The Academy-wide rules for Veo, match/training recording, photography, social media and youth footage are set out in our Photography, Filming & Video Recording Policy. Recording for coaching analysis does not automatically authorise public-media use.
From time to time, Prestbury Girls Academy may create documentary, promotional or storytelling content about Academy life and girls' football. This is separate from normal match/training recording used for coaching analysis.
What may be included
- Training or matchday activity in appropriate public/pitch-side areas
- Group Academy activity and events
- Approved interviews with players, parents/carers, coaches or volunteers
- Behind-the-scenes Academy content where the setting is suitable
- Edited short-form or long-form content within the permission choices given
What will not be filmed for this purpose
- Changing rooms, toilets or accommodation bedrooms
- Private medical treatment or confidential medical discussions
- Private welfare, safeguarding or disciplinary meetings
- A child who is distressed or who asks for optional filming to stop
- Content designed to shame, ridicule or manufacture drama around a child
Choosing not to take part in optional documentary or promotional content will not affect a player's selection, playing time, coaching or Academy involvement.
