Photography & Filming Media Release Consent Form

This form is seeking consent for a child or young person to be photographed and/or filmed for the purposes of participating in the photography, film or video content produced and published by the National Society.

A detailed privacy notice about how we will collect and use your data can be found at the following link:

https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2023-06/NS-CYP_Photography_Filming_Privacy_Notice_v2.0.pdf

You can also read our policy statement on photography & filming of children & young people at the following link:

https://www.churchofengland.org/sites/default/files/2022-09/NS-CYP_Photography_Filming_Policy_Statement_v2.0.pdf

If children, parents or carers do not consent to photographs or videos being taken, the National Society will respect their wishes, and work with the schools to ensure the photographer knows not to take pictures of the child and do so in a way that does not single out the child or make them feel isolated. If a parent or carer consents for their child to be photographed or filmed, the child can still refuse at any point and the National Society will listen to them and not proceed with photography or filming. The National Society will never exclude a child from an activity because we do not have consent to film them or take their photograph.
