Young people who should not be identified Every effort will be made by the academy to prevent capturing of the image of any young person who should not be identified. Parents/carers should ensure their children and the academy are informed if they should not be photographed, and students must act to make any photographer aware of this. Please use your camera and video courteously. External media photography and filming The media operate under their own code of practice. Official academy photographers officially own the photos they have taken, they will only be able to use these photos for the specific purposes that parents/ carers and/or students consented to at the time the photos were taken. If the photographer wishes to subsequently use photos for purposes not initially consented to, they will need new parental and/or student permission. Internal photography and filming 1. Permission is valid from the date the permission form is signed. Permission can be withdrawn anytime by emailing officecg@ universityofkentacademiestrust.org.uk.

are kept safe, the performance is not disrupted and young people and staff are not distracted. • Parents/carers can use photographs and films taken at an academy event for their own personal use only. Such photos and videos must not be sold and it is recommended that they are not put on the web/internet/ social media. • Parents/carers must follow guidance from staff as to when photography and filming is permitted and where to stand in order to minimise disruption to the activity. • Parents/carers must not photograph or film young people changing for performances or events. • Only images of young people suitably dressed will be allowed, to reduce the risk of images being used inappropriately. Special consideration will be given to photographs taken during PE (Sports Day), swimming, Dance and Drama. • If you are accompanied or represented by people that academy staff do not recognise they may need to check who they are, if they are using a camera or video recorder. • Remember, images taken on mobile phones have the same rules applied as for any other photography. You should recognise that any pictures taken are for personal use only.

2. If we take photographs or videos of individual students or groups of students we will only use Academy devices such as mobile phones owned by Chatham Grammar or iPads. 3. We will not use the personal details or full names (which means first name and surname) of any child or adult in a photograph on our website, social media, in our academy prospectus or in any of our other printed publications (unless required for assessment purposes). 4. If we use photographs of individual students, we will not use the full name of that child in the accompanying text or photo caption. 5. We may use group or class photographs or footage with very general labels, such as ‘a science lesson’ or 'a sporting event'. 6. We will only use images of students who are suitably dressed, to reduce the risk of such images being used inappropriately. 7. Images taken at out of hours academy events, e.g. achievements events, etc may be used to promote the academy. These images will be used in an appropriate context.
