Tyne and Wear County Netball Association (TWCNA) adopts England Netball’s policy for the taking and use of photographic and recorded images of young people and works in accordance with the following statement: Introduction TWCNA does not wish to prevent parents or other spectators being able to take legitimate photographs or recorded images. Use of recorded images can also be a valuable coaching aid. However, TWCNA is committed to providing a safe environment for young people under the age of 18. Included in this commitment is ensuring that all necessary steps are taken to protect young people from the inappropriate use of their images in resources and media publications, on the Internet, and elsewhere. Photographic and recorded images can be used as a means of identifying young people if accompanied by personal information. This has the potential to make a young person vulnerable to individuals seeking to ‘groom’ young people for abuse. Additionally, images can be used or adapted for inappropriate use. There is evidence of adapted sporting images being used on websites displaying images of child abuse. 1st December 2013 UpdateUpdated Constitution is now available for download.

When England's netball coach Anna Mayes was 16 she had one ambition. "I told my mum I wanted to coach England," laughs the 32-year-old. Two years ago Mayes was appointed to that very role, having already worked with the Under 21s, and her approach has yielded phenomenal results. In Mayes' first month England won the world series, and earlier this year her side whitewashed the world champions, Australia, in a 3-0 series win (previously England had only ever beaten Australia twice, in 1981 and in 2010). England remain unbeaten in 2013. Despite the fact that most of England's players work or study full-time Mayes, herself an autoethnography PhD student, leads a squad that is wholeheartedly professional in its outlook. Players such as the captain, Pamela Cookey, now fit in morning and evening training sessions around their day jobs, in Cookey's case a demanding role as a site services manager working for an aircraft manufacturer. From the outset the Swindon-born coach outlined an unwavering vision of where the sport should be heading. "I wanted to do something in English netball that had never been done before," she says now, "so in 2019 our mission statement is: we want to be world champions." Click Here to read more...
