Photo permission

[PurpleBugz]

If I didn't give photo permission for my child in a club is it ok for that club to include photos on their social media but with my child face turned away from the camera? I don't want to be 'that mum' but anyone who knows her would identify her from these pictures

If you asked for no photos then it means they can blur out a face or show him from the back and not go against your wishes. However, it’s is just that, your wishes.

Ask for the child not to be included in the photo?

Yeh that what is usually means . At times they put smileys on the children face who are not allowed to be photographed.

You can't prevent any photos being taken in a public place, and distributed

First part is true, anyone can take a photo of anythng (bar Crown Property) from a public space, however it's use is restricted, especially if used to advertise/promote/endorse something without the "model's" permission.

You need to talk to them.
I sometimes see photos of school groups/sports teams etc where some faces are blurred out or covered in some type of emoji. Others so the turned away from the camera thing.
But yes this doesn’t completely make a child unidentifiable if people know that child.
If you don’t want them photographed at all just talk to them.

I've been scrolling back further and couple weeks ago is a photo clearly showing her face so I think I will politely remind them she's not got photo permission.

It's not in a public place is a private kids club I've paid for her to attend.

While her father does now know where we live there was a time he didn't and it was not safe for her to have her photo shared publicly as we fled DV. Time has past since our dark days and his focus has moved on from us so daughter is not at risk in the same way I'm left feeling uncomfortable as had this happened a few years ago it could have had very serious consequences
