Use of Images
While your child is at Birchwood we would like to take photographs or video of them in order to capture their learning and their experiences. These are included on their learning journals which will be available for you to see at Birchwood and electronically. We also sometimes use children’s photographs in displays, literature, staff training, our website and Facebook page and occasionally for the local newspaper. We would like your permission to use photographs or film of your child in this way.

To comply with the Data Protection Act 1998, we need your permission before we can photograph or make any recordings of your child. Please answer the questions below, then sign and date the form where indicated.
