Should I report this?

[guesswhosbac]

A family members partner has posted photos and videos of her child's school play all over Facebook and Instagram this morning with all the other children's faces clearly visible. I was when I saw it as she is a teaching assistant in another school herself! This is a massive safeguarding issue. Would I be unreasonable to report this to her school (I wouldn't tell them it was her, I would just say one of their staff) so they can update their safeguarding training and to her child's school so they can remind parents not to do this?

It depends on several things.

1.How did the school send the video? If it wasn't by private email/message and on a fb/twitter/school page then it's their fault to begin with.

1. Some school have children that can't appear on SM,in pics etc out of group performances. Or they film two,and the public/parents get the one without said children.

3.You have no idea if the parents of any of those children don't want them on SM. They might very well have agreed to it.

If it really,really bothers you then you can email the school and inform them that a video of x class is on SM. If there are any safeguarding issues they can take it from there or ask for extra clarification.

Reporting her to her school is spiteful. Me posting a video of DD's nativity(or her bit in it) for example (yes with agreement from everyone and after checking with the class teacher) has nothing to do with my knowledge of safeguarding,my professionalism or my own school's policy.

@TeenPlusTwenties thats what I am saying. Some years do not allow photos as some of the kids parents don't allow photos on sm. My kids years both allow it. We have to sign a form every term.

Someone once did this at my DDs old primary of the summer concert. We had all been asked repeatedly not to film or post anything.
Some moron did, on their public Facebook, and it got shared.
One girl in DDs class was in foster care, with no contact unless supervised. Her dad was an acquaintance of one of the morons friends.
Queue angry violent father hopping the fence, smashed windows, a teacher coming out to calm it being punched in the face, police being called and several shit scared kids in hysterics.

Yes you should report. She's even more of an idiot if she works in a school.

I’ve just had to sign a form giving permission for my child’s photo to be used by their educational establishment and a disclaimer that they cannot stop parents filming performances you are agreeing to not post them on social media.

Report immediately. I'm a teacher and this is a huge cause for concern.
My sister is also adopted and her family found her social media after skmethu g like this. These things go very far after someone's nan shares it on their public profile etc. It was hell for her.

Pressed post too early!
*something like this

To those saying it's no big deal - it might not be a big deal for you and your child but you have no idea about anyone else's circumstances.

Some schools put these on their open for all fbook pages. I assume those schools have no children filmed that aren't allowed to be

@pompey38

guesswhosbac- is it now? so the partner will be googling every school in 100 mile radius in hope he’ll find a picture ??. If she escaped domestic violence the partner won’t know what area she is therefore he cannot look for the kid . Take a chill pill

If you don't understand the massive safeguarding issue just be thankful you don't.

Schools doing policies 'by class' are on very dodgy ground in my opinion.

A class that has permitted photos for 4 years has a new child join in y4. Suddenly photo permission is withdrawn for the class. - Way to 'out' the child!
