Filming and Photography 

•    We’ll be taking photos and filming all around the Knight Frank Schools Triathlon. 
•    Some photos or film clips will be used in the future to help us promote Knight Frank Schools Triathlon and the work of Restless Development. 
•    Photography and filming will also be used by the host school in publications, on the school website and on their social media platforms. 
•    If you would prefer for your child to not appear in images used for these purposes please let us know on the day when you register. 
•    We’ll ask anyone not wishing to appear in photos or film to wear an additional wristband (red) as well as a sticker on their bib. This means that although we can’t guarantee your child’s picture won’t be taken, we’ll ensure those photos or film clips are not used. 
•    These wristbands and stickers will be available for collection from the registration stand.
