EWS Data Protectin Policy

Data Protection Policy

Our school website is dedicated to celebrating everything that is positive about EWS. However, we are committed to providing a website that is safe for everyone in our school community to use.

Therefore, we have created a Data Protection Policy to protect both the identity and interests of all our pupils and staff.

The main tenants of this policy area as follows:

1. If a photograph of a child is published it will never be accompanied by the pupil’s name.

2. If a pupil is named there will never be an accompanying photograph.

3. Where possible, pupils will be photographed in groups; however, if a pupil is featured on their own special permission will be sought from the parents before the image is published on the site.

4. All parents, pupils and staff of EWS have the right to request that images of themselves or their children are not published on the site. Withdrawal of permission must be made via the completion of the appropriate form that must be returned to the Web Manager.

5. If moving images of pupils (video etc) are to be featured on the site then clips will be kept to a minimum length. If an extended clip is to be used then individual permission will be sought.
