I'm sure we are all trying to be helpful and find a justification for
stopping filming under DPA, but of course this is not actually a decision
based on DPA at all. It stems from child protection and the fact that the
"father" at the back with a video camera may be a paedophile and no one is
prepared to take the risk.

Subject: Re: DP and School Concerts
Surely this is straightforward isn't it?
If the school is taking photos/video for use in publications (electronic or
otherwise) then it must do so within the bounds of its entry in the
register as a data controller.
A parent etc taking photos/video of the schools concert is acting as a
private individual and S36 rules (the fact that the images will be used to
embarrass the child in later years to the great amusement of his/her
contemporaries is immaterial).

Graham
