I asked Liverpool councils events office for a media pass to get stage access at the free festival called THE HUB it is a music and street culture festival and I got the attached reply..so I was wondering just how old young was for photography purposes...I sent a mail back saying that I have a valid CRB check (which I do) and that I know that I can take pictures without a pass ...talk about Guff :bonk::bang:.

Hi Paul

Thank you for your email. For child protection reasons all photographers
must be accredited to a media organisation. However you will be able to
take images of the activities without a pass, just not of young the
young people attended.

Kind regards

Yeah I thought similar but for a bmxing, skateboarding and graffiti festival, this would probably include most people participating.

I would probably come over as tedious as the woman at the events office they wouldnt dream of putting up notices i dont think, I can get access for sunday because I know one of the bands on stage, I was just trying my hand a bit to get access to the ramps and stuff but was a little surprised by her reply as regards youngsters.
 
Youth workers usually define young people as such until the age of 25.
 
I think I am just going to do what I normally would do and take the pictures regardless..I have never had problems in the past...thanks for the replies :O)
 
how old is young ?
Listen to the news they have the definition "sewn up"
a 16 year old that is a victim of a crime, rape / mugging / assault etc is a "child"
any 16 year old that commits these or any other crime is a young man / woman ;)
 
Oh for gods' sake this blummin moral outrage is ridiculous.

I have a terrible story from last summer: one Friday morning at about 8am I was on my way to work; full of the joys of Friday and summer. There was a little girl - 6 or 7 - in her garden playing, and as I passed the gate she called out "Hello!"

"Hello" I said back.

"Where are you going?" she enquired.

"To work" said I, stopping.

"Where's work?"

"In the city ... " I replied, then " ... and now I must go. Good bye!" because suddenly - suddenly - I realised that if her father were to come out to find a 34yo man talking to his daughter, I wouldn't get the chance to explain what a picture-postcard moment of innocence it was before he forcibly pushed my teeth into my bottom.

Sad times indeed.

Of course, at least now someone's thinking of the children.

Buy more domestos, folks - there's more germs on your chopping board than on your toilet seat.

...

And ...

...

Relax.

I'd agree with everyone above - 16 or over. But it's down to your judgement and you can't ask them first.

Play it safe and don't snap anyone without any grey in their hair. A lot of grey.

Surely not in terms of "Child Protection"??

Logically I'd say this would relate to minors - so at worst anyone under 18 (which I think is the legal definition of a child in the UK), and at best anyone under 16.
 
what utter rubbish, how on earth can they say you can't take pictures of young people, FFS it's a festival, there'll be 100s of cameras there, do the kids have reflectors on them so the AF won't work

So the people that have a pass, are they going to be taking pictures of fully clothed children, will they then be put in a vault or are they going to publish the pictures of fully clothed children.

This is madness:bonk:
