Taking of photos with a Mobile Phone or Camera;

The use of photos to support observation, assessment and planning and to provide a pictorial record for parents has become part of my practice. To ensure that everyone in my setting is protected I have the following procedures in place:

• I will avoid putting myself into any compromising situation which could be misinterpreted and lead to possible allegations.

• Pictures are transferred to my computer which is password protected

• I have registered with the Information Commissioner's Office for Data Protection

• Any stored pictures are deleted once a child leaves my setting
