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

AWA

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

Abi and Catherine 

Parents

  • This is an interesting thread ... it would be good to know (clearly and succinctly) what 'approval' abi and catherine finally did obtain to fulfil legal obligations, child protection/vulnerable adults laws etc, before filming.

    I also agree that permission from the NAS should have been sought BEFORE posting, which I would have thought abi and catherine would have known, on a moral level and also having worked with young people and vulnerable children, regardless of their age? I'm an adult with AS, and was personally very surprised/concerned to see this post had been made, without permission.

    Unfortunately, once someone has posted in this way, regardless of how innocent it might be, and it slips through the net ... the intent/message has been put out there in an invasive way, and a Forum such as this then becomes an unpredictable, potentially stressful environment .... not good for someone with Autism/AS.

    Oh ... and I don't give you permission to use my comments in your workshops or in any other way. A SE of this type is a good idea - but there are possibly a number of schemes available to ensure you are running your SE legally and efficiently; perhaps this is something to consider?
