Communications and Privacy
Players and/or parents will be contacted by the Surf Coast Suns Football Netball Club to ensure that relevant and necessary information relating to operations of the club shall be passed on in an open and transparent manner. Communications may be issued through a variety of platforms:
- Text message
- Phone
- In person
- Newsletter
- Website
- Purpose built sporting applications
It is advised that all players and/or parents should have current email addresses and phone numbers updated as necessary, to ensure effective communication.
The Surf Coast Suns Football Netball Club will at no time give out any personal contact details of any player or parent to any third party. From time to time, the Surf Coast Suns may pass on information from a third party, if they see it as relevant to the club or our sponsors.
The Surf Coast Suns may from time to time pass on contact details of a Committee Member, Coordinator, Coach or Team Manager to a third party, only if it is relevant to that person’s role within the club.
Social Media
The Surf Coast Suns Football Netball Club may take photos and/or video of players, parents and volunteers relating to the club. These images may be used through various platforms such as:
- Website
- Newsletters
- Promotional materials
If you do not want any images of you or your child used in this way, you must contact the club in writing to advise of this.
Should any photo of you or your child be used on Facebook or other medium that you are not happy with, please advise the club immediately and it will be removed at the earliest possible time available to do so.
Media
From time to time a journalist or other person may contact you for a comment or question relating to the Surf Coast Suns Football Netball Club. If this happens, please contact the most senior club representative available, who will advise who is the best person for them to talk too.
Occasionally a journalist from a newspaper, television channel or other medium may film or photograph anyone from the club. If you notice anyone filming or taking photos, at games or events, please put them in touch with the most senior person from the club who is present, who will enquire about the situation. This could be a Team Manager, Coach, Parent Helper or Committee Member.
Articles or filming may take place by a media outlet without the Club knowing. Please be advised that there is little that we can do about this and the Suns recommend you contacting the media outlet personally, should there be any image you wish to be removed.
Media Contact
Please direct all media enquiries through the Club President who will advise on the appropriate course of action.
