I use daily diaries for each of the part-time mindees I have and use photographs as evidence of what we have been doing over the week. Of course I have permission to take pics etc. but if I were to take a group picture e.g. of the three wee girls icing cakes together can I put one in each of their diaries without breaching confidentiality? I know this sounds odd but Inspectors can be really picky about this sort of thing (I know from past experience) but I think parents like to see their children working in groups rather than just individually. Should I get another letter signed from the parents seeking permission for this too? Sorry to ramble but its been a long day & I locked myself out of the house with two wee ones in my car, in the pouring rain!

Oh poor you! What a day! At least you were cosy and warm in the car.

Yes it's a good idea to get permission in writing if you are going to use photos of lots of children together.

Hope tomorrow improves for you! :D

Thanks Sarah. Oh it was very cosy in the car until a little voice said "Pooped" & I had to open all the windows:laughing:

I have a permission form for all the reasons I take and share pics, and the parents tick if they are happy to share pics of their wee ones with other service users

Ditto ditto ditto and maybe an infrmation poster

my parents love to see picks with a group together dancing or the activity

children like to tell parent who their friends are too

Thanks everyone! I have permission to take the childrens pics but I was never sure about sharing group pics with other parents. I seem to be asking permission from parents for everything these days and I am sure they look in the childrens bags at the end of the day and dread seeing more paperwork from me - will it ever end?
