Quite possibly one needs to look at not "identifying THE problem" but
identifying "IF there is a problem". This is all surely paranoia, not
genuine problems. Why not let us start with "There is no problem" and work
form there?
People have created plausible problems that justify the ban. Instead look
at whether a plausible problem is a real issue.
Citing Climbie, for example, is unhelpful. It has absolutely no relevance
to school concerts and events.
I look at this as a very simple matter. It is either allowed or is not
allowed. This is a matter of school policy for use of its premises. It has
nothing to do with data protection, and frankly nothing to do with child
protection either. Unless, of course, someone suggests that a class
photograph is also a "child for rent" catalogue.

I fully realise that but it doesn't give anyone an excuse to use the DPA
wrongly instead of identifying/defining the problem properly and then
implementing adequate measures to deal with it.
