All,
On a personal note my four year old started school in Sept. Amongst the
newsletters she brought home was a notice from the Headteacher outlining
the position on images (photos in particular) taken for school promotion
and at school events (nativity and the like) in line with DPA. Parents and
carers were asked to opt out if they did not want their children included
in this.
Don't know whether this helps.

Subject: Videoing Pupils

Please respond to
"Broom, Doreen"
All
A video has been taken of pupils at a local secondary school - most of them
probably at the age of 12 for the purposes of the Examination Board -
physical education. Anyway, a parent was asked to come into the school re.
her daughter's behaviour and of course the parent said "My child wouldn't
do
that". The incident of course was captured on that very video.
Anyway, the child's parent was enraged and said this was a violation of her
child's Human Rights and was going to take the matter further and wanted
the
video. The Head Teacher refused as this would disclose third party data.
How would other education authorities deal with this? Are we entitled to
video for this purpose etc.
Should we publish a standard letter for all schools re.
videoing/photographs
etc. and has anyone a standard letter for this purpose? Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance.
