PHOTO CONSENT FORM.

Dear Parent/Guardian, while your child is at Bovingdon Pre-School we may sometimes wish to take photographs to share with you, use in child’s personal file, use in group work, use for displays, or use for our web-site and on some occasions we may invite the local press into the Pre-School to take photographs of specific events which could be printed in a local newspaper.

In addition to this, during festive times eg. Nativity at Christmas, we may also record the performance given to you by the children and make copies to be sold to parents which would raise funds for the Pre-School. We would like your permission for this.

Parental Guardian consent for photographs

Name of child

(BLOCK CAPITALS)

I am the parent/legal guardian of the child named above and I give permission for my child to be photographed by Bovingdon Pre-School staff, for the following reasons (delete as appropriate)

  • Staff coursework
  • The Pre-School website
  • Displays at the Pre-School
  • For our own album
  • Use in groupwork
  • Use in child’s personal file (although staff try to ensure this does not happen, on occasions other children may be included in the background of an individual child’s photograph and therefore will be kept on each individual child’s file)

*I agree/do not agree for my child to be photographed by a local newspaper during specific events at the Pre-School.

*I agree/do not agree for my child to be recorded for a dvd during specific events at the Pre-School.

I understand that at no point will my child’s name or details be directly linked to any photographs or dvd recordings.

Each key staff member will hold a journal for each of the children in their group and as most of the session is spent hands on, interacting/supporting the children, it is therefore necessary for staff to take the journal’s home with them to work on, these are kept confidential at all times.

*I agree/do not agree for my child’s journal to be removed from the premises by their specific Key Person.

Data Protection Act 1998: Bovingdon Pre-School is registered under the Data Protection Act for holding personal data. The Pre-School has a duty to protect this information and to keep it up to date. The Pre-School is required to share some of the data with the Local Authority and with the DfES.

*I agree/do not agree for Pre-School staff to observe, record and pass on information to future settings and relevant agencies if necessary.
