processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorised or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction or damage, using appropriate technical or organisational measures.”  

Photography and Video - We recognise that sharing photographs and video of our activities can help us celebrate the successes and achievements of our children and young people, provide a record of our activities and raise awareness of our organisation. 

Verifiable consent will be obtained from parents/carers/institutions before taking photos or video for promotional purposes and/or before publishing any such images. Care will be taken in the selection of any images before approval for publication to ensure they are wholly appropriate and do not include any identifying information other than names and age. Any concerns about unauthorised or intrusive photography or the inappropriate use of images by, trustees, employees, volunteers, or members of the public must be reported to the Welfare Officer. 

We will never exclude a child from an activity because we do not have consent to take their photograph. 

Registration/Consent forms for MBP activities are to be completed by Parent/Guardian on behalf of the participant.
