Photo & Video Policy

Breakout Performing Arts may photograph or film students (and occasionally their family members) during classes, rehearsals, shows, events and external activities such as community performances. Photography and filming may be carried out by Breakout staff or by approved third-party photographers/videographers working under our instruction.

How we use photos and videos

Any photos or videos we take or create will only ever be used for:
• advertising and promoting Breakout (e.g. website, social media, YouTube, printed materials)
• creating show-related products (e.g. photos, DVDs, digital downloads)
• use within Breakout events, shows and projects
• creating exciting short films or videos starring Breakout students (these may be shared on our social media and YouTube accounts). Our previous films can be viewed here.

We never sell images to external organisations or allow them to be used for unrelated purposes.

Family & friends filming

Family and friends may be allowed to take photos or film during some shows, presentations or performances, but only for personal use.
In certain cases, we may restrict filming/photography to comply with copyright or licensing rules.

Withdrawing consent

Parents/guardians may withdraw consent at any time by contacting Breakout Performing Arts. Withdrawal applies to future use only and does not require the removal of material already produced or published.

Your rights

Breakout complies with UK GDPR. Consent is optional and not a condition of joining our school.
Parents can request access to any images of their child that we hold.
