Data Protection
As is the case with referees and the statement released by the referees association, it is now inappropriate to allow scouts and reporters to photograph all of a team line as this contravenes the Data Protection Act, may we suggest two actions to your club,
- If in the first instances you are allowing a photograph copy of your team line it should only be the players number and his name, therefore no address, DoB or ID number, you should fold the team sheet accordingly.
- It would in our view be to all parties advantage if you produced a sheet with your teams sqaud numbers and names, which could be handed out to interrested parties
All this is to protect the players playing at your club.
