Hi ya all, I have just been reading the latest edition of Nursery World and cam across an article on page 14 entitled "Is it time to ban cameras"? this is all surrounding the incident in a Plymouth Nursery.

Personally I dont think we should ban cameras they are now an every day part of a childminders' life and a valuable tool. The one thing that went throught my mind as I was reading the article was. when a parent first entrusts their child with us we get them to sign a permissions form to enable us to take photographs whilst they are in our care. The relevant words are "Whilst in our care". Shouild we then get the parents to sign another permissions form when they leave our settings, thus giving us permission to display photographs in our portfolios?

I dont know if there is a right or wrong answer to the question I suppose it is down to the individiual.

I look forward to hearing everyone's views.

love
