[Ansteorra] New Online/Virtual Youth Policy

[Minister of Children]

>From the Society Seneschal:

After consultation with the President, In-House Legal Counsel, and
Communications and Society Media Officers, I issued the following policy
regarding youth participation in virtual or online events:

As there is no way to guarantee adherence to the “Two Deep” model during
live virtual or online Youth Activities, such activities are NOT sanctioned
by the SCA.

All online activities billed as Youth Activities must follow an
asynchronous model. The use of short engaging videos or written
instructions for activities posted to official websites is encouraged. Any
instructional videos for youth that are posted to an official channel
should be previewed and approved by either the Kingdom Seneschal or the
Kingdom Youth Officer. These videos may not contain instructor contact
information (such as email address, etc.), nor may they  encourage the
viewer to contact the instructor. Further, any such videos must adhere to
the specific platform’s rules concerning videos for youth.

Youth are not prohibited from participating in general online activities
hosted by the SCA. For these events, as with in-person events, the
parents/guardians of the youth are responsible for overseeing their child’s
activities. Youth may participate in Kingdom and local online events, but
their parents or legal guardians assume full responsibility for their
child’s safety and wellbeing.
