Photo & video consent
During rehearsals and the concert itself, we will be taking photographs and videos (including pupil interviews) to capture the hard work, dedication and joy of being part of this event. Some rehearsal photos may also appear in the souvenir concert programme.
To make this possible, we kindly ask you to complete the photo/video consent form. Giving consent means your child may be featured in official photos, videos and promotional content, helping us celebrate their contribution to this remarkable event.
Important: photos & videos at RAH
Please note that by allowing your child to attend this event you acknowledge that, whilst your photo consent preferences will be respected regarding close-up images, they may however be included in wide angle official photographs of the event. You also acknowledge that audience members may take their own photos and videos during the concert. If your child must not be photographed for safeguarding reasons, please contact us on the email below so that special arrangements can be made: safeguarding@mmf.org.uk
