The use of mobile phones in changing areas within Swim England NE Region

Zois Koklas — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 21:57:18 +0000

Why Mobile Phones Should Never Be Used in Changing Rooms
The use of mobile phones or any digital devices in changing rooms poses serious safeguarding,
privacy, and wellbeing risks—particularly for children and young people.
1. Protecting Privacy and Preventing Abuse
Changing rooms are private spaces where individuals, especially children, are vulnerable. Mobile phones can easily
be used to take or share indecent or intrusive images without consent. According to Swim England’s safeguarding
policy, Wavepower, the organisation has a zero-tolerance stance on mobile phone use in changing rooms during
regulated activity because images taken in these settings can cause lasting emotional, psychological, and social
harm.
2. Reducing the Risk of Criminal Behaviour
It is a criminal offense to take, make, or share indecent images of a child - whether these are taken by a child or
an adult. Within the UK, children from 10 years old can obtain a criminal record, therefore it is imperative that all
swimmers and parents understand the potential consequences. Even accidental use of a phone in these spaces
can raise suspicion or create opportunities for misuse. The presence of phones increases the risk of “upskirting,”
voyeurism, or the capturing of images over or under cubicles—actions that can lead to police involvement and
lifelong consequences.
3. Safeguarding Children and Building Trust
Clear rules banning phone use help children feel safe and respected. It also supports a culture of safeguarding
where everyone understands that privacy is prioritised. Enforcing these policies prevents misunderstandings,
protects bystanders, and reduces opportunities for bullying, image sharing, or coercion.
4. Supporting Clubs and Facilities
Swim England has high expectations on this matter and advises clubs and venues to display clear, high impact
signage and demonstrate high standards to ensure that changing rooms remain and are recognised as a place of
safety for children and young people. Education is a critical factor to ensure that strong policy and rules are
understood but more importantly that clubs regularly encourage and actively role model standards so that any
swimmer and their peers have the confidence to report something that feels uncomfortable or raises concern. In
some instances, this can result initially in more reports of these instances happening but allows clubs to respond
accordingly.
