Young people with HF Autism to participate in an awareness film clip

Dear Parents,

***EDITED 26.07.14*** 

Forum user Longman has pointed out that we need to obtain NAS apporoval before we invite parents and their children to take part in our film shoot on Friday 1st August. We are therefore removing the information about our plans and hope that we can contact the NAS forum Moderators over the weekend.

If anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch Smile

    There are important issues with regard to filming minors, and particularly minors where there is additional vulnerability.

    Yes kids parties are often filmed but in the control of parents and approval of other parents.

    But filming by an independent agency is a different matter. It isn't just about the parents consenting to their children taking part, there is a difficulty that parents cannot readily ensure how the film material is subsequently used. What happens to the out-takes after editing? What prevents them falling into the wrong hands?

    Normally filming in an educational context the people organising the filming must be OFSTED Registered. There are procedures and safeguards and this is a very complex legal area.

    I would advise that you look into the legal issues.
