GDPR regulations have resulted in schools having to tighten data regulations. One area that Art departments must be aware of is the taking of photographs and their use within student work. It is no longer good enough to have a cover all photography agreement form, things are now far more specific. This resource provides a clear, sensible GDPR policy for Art departments. This policy will ensure that your department is covered with regard to collection and use of photographs of students and staff.
