The objective of University of Limerick's style guide is to establish a clear and recognisable brand identity for the University, while also providing guidance on how to communicate effectively with various audiences through both written and digital channels.

Photography & filming on campus guidance for event organisers

Written permission is required for photos or videos of children under the age of 18 and for patients in medical settings. 

In situations where UL is photographing visitors to the campus under the age of 18, it is essential that the UL organiser of the visit has confirmation in writing in advance from a representative of the school or club that parents or guardians have given permission for their children to be photographed.  

In cases where general photography is undertaken on the campus whenever possible, commissioned photographers should identify themselves and the event organiser should seek requisite permissions using the Media Release Form.

Where possible, disclaimers and information should be given in any event promotional material to ensure subjects are aware that photography and video is being undertaken on campus.

In instances when an individual asks to not be photographed, UL photographers comply with those wishes.
