Hiya,
I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this but anyway...
I've got a 4yrs old daughter and last year when she had the Christmas party at the school, we've been told that taking photos are not allowed. I didn't question it because was the school and I thought they've got their own rules in place. So we ended up paying for photos taken by an accredited school photographer. I can assure you they weren't cheap.
Anyway, this year I'll face another rip-off. Same story with the school but in the meantime, my beloved one goes to a dance school and they will have a show in a few weeks time. And guess what ?! Same policy again: no photos allowed! I didn't question the fact that all the parents have to buy tickets to see the show but why am I not allowed to take photos due to child protection policy's in line with uk law ?!
I did some research online and apparently there is no law against photographing chidren ?!

But according to this

a photographer would need a parental consent form, something we've never been asked to agree neither by the school or dance school.
If I'm NOT allowed to take photos of my own child, why someone else should be ?! I don't intend to make them public so it's beyond my understanding why I have to miss important moments in my child's life because someone is imposing a rule based on a law which is not very clear anyway ?!
