Policy on photographs: 
Scribble & Smudge recognises that images can be an extremely powerful means to record and review the experiences of our activities, but also recognise the concerns of parents and guardians regarding the use of these images. 

Scribble and Smudge endeavours to take a responsible attitude towards the use of digital images. As a result we have drawn upon these guidelines, based on the dept for educations advice for the use of digital images: 

Scribble and Smudge will only take and/or use images if permission has been obtained from parents or guardians of any child. 
Where appropriate Scribble and Smudge will follow the guidelines:

  • When using images for publicity purposes (either on our website or for other publications), group shots would be used in preference to shots of individuals

  • No images will be used for anything which may be viewed as negative in tone or that may cause offence, embarrassment or distress for the child, or their parent or guardian.

  • No full names of children’s names will be used in conjunction with any images

  • We will only use images of children who are suitably dressed, to reduce the risk of such images being used inappropriately.

  • If you feel that any image used by us is inappropriate then we shall remove it as soon as possible contact: scribbleandsmudge@scribbleandsmudge.com
