Parental Consent for Social Media/ Images
 
We regularly take photographs/videos of children at the School or when they are involved in organised activities away from the school site and believe that these can provide a valuable record of the children’s learning. These photographs/videos may be used in children’s learning journeys and profiles, our school prospectus, in other printed publications (eg newsletters), on our school website and official social media channels or in school displays. We may also make video recordings for use by the School to enhance an assembly or as evidence of exciting practical activities.

Learning takes place in a variety of different ways at St Neot’s Preparatory School. We like to celebrate and share this learning with others. Our official social media, e.g. Facebook, Instagram, school website and newsletter are fantastic ways for us to do this.

To comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we need your permission to photograph or make any recording of your child. Generally, photographs for school and family use are a source of pleasure and pride, which we believe can enhance self-esteem for children and young people, and their families, and so are to be welcomed. However, we recognise that increased use of technology and opportunities for online publishing mean that there is greater potential for accidental or deliberate misuse.

We take your child's data seriously. We endeavour to minimise risks by putting safeguards in place that will protect your child’s interest. Our Images Policy and how we ensure the appropriate use of photography and filming is available on request from the school office.
