INFORMATION

Title

Safe use of images

Summary of contents

Photography, filming and the use of video cameras has become an issue for many schools recently. Much of the attached document on the safe use of images is of direct relevance to schools.  Whether it is photography for the local newspaper or video recording from the audience during the school nativity, it is clear that parental consent cannot be taken for granted.

These guidelines and recommendations, updated this year, will help schools develop procedures and policies to minimise the risk of problems arising. The fundamental issue is that of consent, but this document also provides guidance on the suitability of images, and how to avoid pitfalls in using images inappropriately.
