I now have a Working With Children card

The photo is of four of the scenes that were used to create a calendar for the endurance riders’ association. Befunky has cropped the photos a little. Vince recently took photos at a HorsePower dressage day. This used to be called ‘Riding for the Disabled’ but has now changed its name. Before we could take photos, Vince needed a Working with Children’ (WWC) card. He also had to ask permission from the riders before taking their photos. As I am now taking photos too, it seemed to make sense for me to have the same card and it has now been mailed to me. The photo isn’t quite as bad as my passport photo. Rather than show the WWC card, I’ve put a composite photo of endurance riders.

Is it easy to acquire the card? D you need a lot of requirements to comply before getting one?

@JudyEv Oh so only an ID is needed to get one. That's pretty easy. My country usually has a lot of requirements in getting something. We usually have to secure our own police clearance and in order to get a police clearance we need a barangay clearance (a barangay is a place where we reside). Oh and most of the time they also require a community tax certificate. All those in addition to our ID which must be government issued. We don't have a citizen ID.

I had to show ID. I think the police check your records but if you have no convictions, then they issue the card.

@toniganzon I'd forgotten that we had to provide '100 points' which means a passport, driving licence, pension card, electricity/gas bills. Each item carries a different number of points. A passport and driving licence is enough for 100 points.

The card is really a police clearance to say it's okay for me to be around children. It is meant to try to safeguard children from abuse but of course it doesn't stop all abuse. Anyone working with children in clubs, schools, sporting areas must now have these cards.

Why did Vince need a WWC card to take photos?

Because there were children there, he needed the card. I've written more about it now. Any employee at any of our swimming pools would need them too.

No, we have taken a lot of photos at horse endurance riders and now their association is using our photos to have a calendar made which they will sell to raise funds. I'm glad you like the photo.

I have never heard of anything like this but I think it's a great idea your country requires it.

Anyone who works with children now has to have these cards. It is a safeguard but of course it doesn't all abuse.

Really good shots. I really like the one on the bottom left where the reflection of the 2 riders is so clear.

Your WWC card is your ticket to photography at these events.

If there are children at an event, it is best to have these cards.

Looking at the photos brings back so many memories of my childhood days on the back of an Australian Piebald Horse - doing cross-country - we didn't have these nice number bibs - we had small little numbers pinned to our backs

I guess the whole endurance thing has changed a lot. As has requirements in all types of equestrian sport.
