This is similar to the issues surrounding violent warning markers. The use
of the photo, rather than a description or name does not seem to me to make
much difference. But there has to be a proper procedure for assessing the
risk, deciding on the fair and proportionate course of action, and keeping
the situation under review to ensure that any action remains appropriate.

Subject: Use of photos
I have a scenario at our college:
A student is concerned a member of public may harm them and may come on
site. They have given a member of staff a photo of this person who is
not a student at the college. That member of staff would like to record
this photo against the student's electronic record so relevant staff,
such as facilities staff, can identify this person if they were to come
on site.
I'm concerned about recording this photo on our systems as we have not
asked permission to do so, but I do want to ensure the relevant staff
have the knowledge they need. I'm favouring just keeping the photo with
that member of staff and recording a summary on the student's electronic
record with a reference to the staff member for further details.
I'm interested in your thoughts on this.
Thanks,
Phil Shambrook
