1.1 Identify the current legislation, guidelines, policies and procedures for safeguarding the welfare of children and young people including e-safety.
1.2 Describe the roles of different agencies involved in safeguarding the welfare of children and young people.
Photography policy.
At Little Hill primary school, there are two main sections to the photography policy. One section is for parents/carers and the other section is for all members of staff. At the beginning of each academic year, a photography policy is sent out to all parents. This is to explain the policy and for them to decide if they would like their children to be photographed or not. The school has to have the parents’ permission if they want to take photos of any children during school hours. In the policy, there is an agreement which needs returning to the school, and they keep for their records. There are four sections to the agreement which indicate which areas that staff can photograph: 1, child being photographed for educational purposes for their learning journals, 2, child photographed for external use for example, the internet and media purposes, 3, internal purposes for the use of displays and 4, the use of any general purpose. Parents have the right to choose all, neither or some. All staff members are prohibited to have their mobile phone on them during school hours. This is to ensure that no photographs are being taken in secret. If a student or voluntary worker needs photographic evidence, then permission is needed and a staff member should be present, but no photographs of the children should be taken. If a photograph is needed of a display, there must be no children present.
