These guidelines emphasise ethical practices in filming, photography, and interviewing, prioritising contributors' rights and the impact on both individuals and audiences.
They aim to support sector-wide best practice, urging "NGOs to put contributors at the centre of NGO image making; to recognise contributors’ rights, and to consider our responsibilities towards them while gathering and using their images and words for our communications purposes."
