Camera & Mobile phone Policy

I understand that mobile phones are an everyday part of life for parents and childminders and with that in mind have laid out my procedure for their use:

I will ensure my mobile phone is fully charged and with me at all times in case of emergencies.

I have the facility to take photographs on both my mobile phone and camera and will seek your permission to take any photographs of your child to record activities and share their progress with you.

Any photographs taken will be deleted after either being emailed to you or printed for use in your child’s learning journey.

I will not publish any photographs of your child on any social networking sites or share them with any other person without your permission.

I request that you do not use your mobile phone whilst dropping off and collecting your child/children.

Any visitors to the setting will also be asked not to use their mobile phones.

If your child has a mobile phone, games console, or other electronic device with a camera or calling facilities that they wish to bring into the setting please let me know, so that we can work together to ensure the safety of all children in attendance.

To comply with the Data Protection Act 1998/GDPR 2018 I have registered with the Information Commissioners Office as a data controller to allow me to store digital images on a USB device/computer.
