Photographic/video/audio/communication consent and release

What is this consent form for?
Faith Lutheran College Redlands (FLCR) collect digital, photographic and multimedia  images of students for a wide range of reasons, such as:
• student participation at school and in school events;
• celebrating student achievements; and,
• promotion of school or our associated entities.
These images are considered “personal information” of students. The Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the FLCR Privacy Policy regulates how we  collect, use and disclose the personal information  of students and families. FLCR’s Privacy Policy can be accessed on our website using the following link https://www.faithlutheran.qld.edu.au/assets/documents/2019/Our-college/Privacy-Policy-FLCR-2019.pdf .
Media access is managed and supervised by FLCR;
• FLCR have the right to refuse media access where it would, in the opinion of the
Principal, interfere with the student’s well-being or with the operation of the school;
• media access to FLCR facilities is entirely at the discretion of FLCR; and,
• media access to students will be managed by representatives of FLCR.
FLCR requires informed consent from parents/legal guardians and in some cases students, to  use their images. The consent form on the following page outlines various consent permissions.
Who should sign the consent form?
The student’s parents/legal guardians should sign the form, along with the student themselves if age appropriate and certainly if the student is legally an adult (18 years of age or over). This ensures that the student is aware consent has been given or withheld. Regardless of the consent type provided, parents/legal guardians should inform the student of their decision in an age- appropriate manner.
While FLCR will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that only appropriately authorised persons complete the consent form and sign the authorisation section, FLCR will not be      responsible for circumstances in which it is misled as to the identity and authority of that person.
You must choose one type of consent from the options listed overleaf.
What happens to the consent form once it is filled out and signed?
The consent form will be placed on the student’s file or record and retained by the school. If requested, a copy of the form will be made available to the student and/or the student’s parents/legal guardians. You may, at any time, amend the consent you provide by contacting the school and completing a new form.
What happens to photographs, videos and sound recordings published previously if I decide to amend my consent from Public to a lower level?
If Public Consent is revoked, no new public use will be made of the student’s image or personal information. Due to the viral nature of the internet – and especially of social media – FLCR cannot guarantee that all images published prior to revocation of consent will be able to be removed from the internet.
Should you require any further information, please contact the Principal.
