What a photo release form should cover

  • Private sharing with the child's own family, for example through a parent app
  • Group photos that other families in the class can see
  • Classroom displays and portfolios
  • Public use on your website, social media or flyers
  • Whether names can be shown
  • How a parent can change their choice

Good practice

  • Ask for permission for each use separately, not one yes for everything.
  • Never post full names or locations with photos of children.
  • Keep a list of children who must not appear in public photos where staff can see it.
  • Ask again each year and when a family's situation changes.
