What is ‘informed consent’?
Informed consent is a process whereby participants are informed and asked for their
permission or agreement prior to taking photographs or recording images. Individuals should be informed of:
• the purpose(s) the image will be used for, and
• the people/bodies to whom it might be transferred.
The individual should be asked for their prior written consent. Where images may be used for a variety of purposes (e.g., documenting, promoting or celebrating through press coverage, websites, prospectuses etc.), consent for each purpose and/or in a variety of settings (e.g., reports, public media, or websites) should be obtained on an “opt-in” basis.
For example:
We would like to take photos/digital images of your child and use them for the following
purposes. Do you give your consent as parent/guardian for us to do each of the following:
Tick box if “yes” you agree with these uses
