Tim Grocott: Shirley Boys High principal and chair of School Sport NZ on why he wants filming regulations around school sports

from The Sunday Session with Francesca Rudkin · host Newstalk ZB

Auckland Grammar is cracking down on the filming of school sports, and other educators have voiced support. The debate over media coverage has come up again, after Auckland Grammar sent a “cease and desist” letter to a website that has broadcasted brief social media clips of the school’s First XV. Shirley Boys High principal and chair of School Sport NZ, Tim Grocott, says schools have a responsibility to protect their students - especially on 'risky' digital platforms.  "Increasingly, we are seeing sport in particular being broadcast, streamed, and put on various places, and I think there is some risk that comes with that, particularly if it's on an open platform."
