Photographic Permission                                               

Please read the following notes before asking the Head teacher to sign the attached form.

From time to time, as part of our education programme for schools, the National Records of Scotland (NRS) would like to take photographs and film footage of pupils involved in activities at our workshops. 

The photographs may be used to support press media coverage following the event or activity in question. They may be stored and used within NRS publications to illustrate the work that we do with young people. They may also be used for the same purposes with general audiences, through exhibition work or in presentations intended to explain to general audiences what we do and give examples of recent work we have been involved with. Finally, they may also be used on our education website, www.scottisharchivesforschools.org for the same purposes. 

The images will be used by our education staff for general illustrative purposes only, and will not seek to identify specific individuals. Children’s names will not be used, but the name of the school or other institution may be given. It is our policy only to take photographs of pupils for whom the school has obtained full parental consent and given us advance permission.

If you would like to discuss any concerns you may have about how images of the pupils may be used or stored, please contact:
