I agree with Tim.
Of course, there is one very simple way to solve this - ban the sale of
cameras! Sure innocent parents would lose out on those precious pics of
their darling sprog's embarrassing appearance in the Nativity play, but it
would *totally* eliminate that 0.1% chance of some old perv taking his
picture too!

Like I said, paedomania. No-one could seriously tell me that anyone could
get their jollies from a school concert, nor that the films are saleable to
unusual people. By the way, let's get off this "father" bit. Myra Hyndley
was not male!
Ban it for being tasteless and invasive and lousy manners. Otherwise leave
it alone.

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.

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
