We kindly request all journalists, photographers, videographers, and content creators to respect these guidelines and always follow instructions from the organization.

Therefore:

Field Access for Media

Accredited media must always take into account:

It is not permitted to obstruct volunteers or request that they leave the field for the purpose of taking recordings or photographs.

All images and recordings must be respectful, appropriate, and non-stigmatizing.

Minors & Duty of Care
