You agree to use the WTV website in accordance with the following Community Rules. These apply across all WTV community sites and services. You should, however, read the local house rules of the particular site or service you’re using, as there may be some local variations to these Community Rules.

• You may not submit any defamatory or illegal material of any nature to WTV. This includes text, graphics, video, programs or audio. You agree to use WTV website for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of, restrict or inhibit anyone else's use and enjoyment of WTV.  Harassing, defamatory, abusive, threatening, harmful, obscene, profane, racially offensive or otherwise objectionable material is not acceptable. 

• Contributing material with the intention of committing or promoting an illegal act is strictly prohibited.

• Wirral TV will not accept pornographic or sexually explicit content.

• Graphic or gratuitous violence is not allowed on the Wirral TV website. This includes animal abuse, videos showing someone getting hurt, attacked or humiliated.

• No impersonation

• You may not refer to specific URLs (web site addresses) unless specifically agreed with WTV. 

6. Children and Consent:

• Where a child or young person is included in any WTV activity, consent must be obtained from parents or legal guardians, or other persons of eighteen or over in loco parentis. The younger and more vulnerable the child, and the more sensitive the subject matter, the more likely it is that consent is essential. 

• Content producers must ensure that the child featured in their content and the parent/guardian, or other person of eighteen or over in loco parentis, understand the nature of the programme and are able to give informed consent.

• Content producers must respect a refusal of the child or young person to take part.

• In deciding whether a child can give consent, the stage of development and degree of understanding as well as their age should be taken into account.

• Content producers must ensure that any reasonably foreseeable consequences of the child’s participation are made clear, for example the possibility of bullying.

• Content producers may not give any financial inducement to the child or parent/guardian to secure consent. The payment of expenses is acceptable as long as they are reasonable and legitimate.

• Content producers must obtain permission from the head teacher for filming or interviewing on school premises or during school hours. In law, Local Education Authorities license all child performances during school hours.

7. Safety

We advise that you never reveal any personal information about yourself or anyone else (for example: telephone number, home address or email address), and please do not include postal addresses of any kind. 

You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your details when using our Services.
