Photos of cm children on t'internet

[sarah707]

Ofsted inspectors will google us before they come out to see us...

If they spot open Facebook groups with photos of children on them - or other places with photos of cm children - they will ask us about it when they come out to visit.

They will want to know how we keep cm children's photos safe if we are putting them 'out there' - freely accessible online.

Even with parents permission and ICO registration we are still putting those children's photos in places where we cannot control them - where they can be accessed by those who might want to misuse them - they are not behind passwords or firewalls or other security.

I have written more about this in my blog - Keeping photos of children safe online - Independent Childminders.

I hope it helps you to keep images of children safer ...
