Photographs, filming and recording
Photos, videos and other recordings of a person are types of personal information and as such are protected by privacy law and sometimes by copyright law.
The main things to consider when taking or sharing photos are consent, context and risk.
There are 2 policies that cover photos, videos and recordings:
- when students are the subject, refer to the Photographing, Filming and Recording Students policy
- when adults and staff are the subject, refer to the Photographing, Filming and Recording Staff and other Adults policy.
