Lindal & Marton Community Website Policies

Publication of material

The Lindal & Marton Community Website is intended as a means for sharing information, to be used by anyone of any age-group with an interest in the community. The website is an independently-run free service, and is supported entirely by volunteers. Any individual or organisation may submit information for publication on the website, either directly to the publisher or by other means as appropriate, eg by 'signing' the guestbook.

All contributed material is reviewed by the publisher (or designated authority) before being published. Any material that is considered by the publisher to be inaccurate, inappropriate for the website, or unsuitable for children, is rejected.

Normal conditions of acceptance for business advertising are that the business should be based in Lindal & Marton, or else should be a Furness-based business that delivers a product or service directly to Lindal & Marton residents.

Views expressed on the website are generally those of the contributor, and do not necessarily align with the views of the publisher.

Any comments or complaints received by the publisher concerning published material will be reviewed and appropriate remedial action taken as quickly as possible. Please contact Neil Fleming directly or by e-mail to neil@lindal-in-furness.co.uk.

Publication of photographs

Permission will not normally be sought to publish photographs of groups of adults or children as this is generally not practicable, with the particular exception of children attending organised school or youth group events (see following paragraph). We will seek permission to publish photographs of individual identifiable children where practicable. We will never knowingly publish any photograph that could be considered embarrassing or indecent.  We will respect any requests not to be photographed, whether from an adult, child, or parent/guardian of a child.

Permission will be obtained from an appropriate responsible person whenever photographs of children attending school or youth group events are being taken. In the case of photographs directly relating to the Lindal & Marton Primary School Website school.lindal-in-furness.co.uk, authorisation to publish photographs of pupils will be obtained from the school headteacher.

We often publish photographs of village buildings and the surrounding countryside, including interiors and exteriors of commercial and public buildings. We try to avoid publishing close-up photographs of individual homes and privately-owned properties except with the owner's permission, or where inclusion of the property is inevitable within a street scene or landscape, or as a background to a photograph of another subject.

Photographs of any individual (adult or child) will be removed from the website without hesitation if requested by the individual concerned or by a parent/guardian. Reasonable requests to remove photographs of properties will be considered and acted on as appropriate.

Identification of children

The Lindal & Marton Community Website does not publish personal details or names (which means first name, last name, or full name) accompanying photographs of children, except where permission has been received from a parent or legal guardian.
