Hi Susan,
It's more a policy issue, making sure I've covered all angles. I'm
planning some Information Governance training and I'm trying to give
people specific guidance, including the relevant legislation.
When staff take photographs we have a protocol that they should follow,
including obtaining consent of individuals. I want to make sure that
this protocol is correct, and can only think that the Data Protection
Act is the only relevant legislation.
Kevin

Kevin, do you want to take photographs or use photographs that are
already there? If the latter, copyright could be an issue.

Subject: [data-protection] Photograph consent and relevant legislation
Morning all,
Long time reader, first time poster here.
I was wondering if there was any other legislation relevant to obtaining
consent for photographs other than the DPA? Principles 2, 3, 5, & 6 and
maybe some others seem to cover it, but I wanted to make sure there
wasn't anything else that needed to be considered.
Kevin
