I agree this is a difficult situation, and I can understand the points made
by others in favour of a ban. A few points that may argue in favour of
allowing filming, however:
1) Absence of consent may well indicate a child protection issue but is
that definitely the issue in this case?
2) Having filmed or photographed numerous shows and displays in my time,
I would think that most parents, like me, have not the slightest interest in
any children other than their own little darlings and would actively try to
avoid cluttering up the screen with them, so the risk may not be as great as
we imagine.
3) The exemption is for private use. If parents are reminded about
this - and why it is important - has the school not discharged its
responsibility? Otherwise, where does it end? Imagine one of the children
in question was a friend of my child. Would I be barred from videoing a
party at my house that they attended? Who would impose that?

Hi folks
That time of year again! I have an issue where a Headteacher has sent a
letter out to parents stating that they are not being permitted to take
videos of their children taking part in musicals etc. I know ICO's advice
stated that that is now OK as it is for personal use. However, the
Headteacher does not have permission for two pupils and that is the
concern - apparently there are Child Protection issues. My view is that it
is for personal use and it should be OK. Two parents have complained as
they are only allowed 2 tickets per family and they wouod like to video the
show to show the grandparents.
Again your views greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Doreen
