Brenda - I thought in England Wales a child must be aged 16 to make such a request. It's only in Scotland that a child over 12 can be deemed old enough to make such a request. We had a similar incident and involved Police and through mediation it was resolved.
Not much help I know...sorry.

Subject: CCTV
A child (12 - 13 years old) has requested CCTV footage of a school bus when he alleges he was assaulted. We consider him old enough to make his own request.
I say we have to blurr out the faces of the other children on the bus - but what about the one who he says assaulted him ? If the footage confirms his claim should we leave that child face visible ?
Any advice gratefully received.
