Data Protection and Social Media/Photo Policies

Safeguarding our young people is our top priority, so I would like to remind existing and new parents of our policy regarding, in main, taking photos of our young people and how we use them.

Please use OSM to indicate your consent either YES or NO

“I give consent for photos/videos of my child to be taken, stored and shared internally in the meeting location, local press, Scout websites and social media. I understand that if I later withdraw consent, previously published photos will not be able to be removed. (Regardless of this consent, the group/unit is not responsible for photos taken by other parties.)”

The only time we will need to get written permission to take and use a photo in addition to this, is if your child’s image were to be used in advertising or promotion material, due to copyright laws.

Our policy is run in full accordance with The Scout Association, who use NSPCC guidelines. If you would like to see these policies in more detail please let us know.
