Sport Integrity Australia's guidelines say:
- If parent or carer consent is not gained, images of the child should not be taken, and should not be used until consent is gained.
- Provide identifiable markers, such as coloured wrist bands, to children who do not have consent to have their images taken.
- Tell any official photographer which children do not have consent, how to identify them, and to avoid taking images of them.
- Make sure these children do not feel excluded, and consider other activities or actions to include them.
