Image Capture

The policy of the university is that the rights of staff, students and visitors to the university, or individuals and groups who are visited by the university’s representatives, should not be jeopardised by any university activity. The university further recognises its responsibilities towards children and young people.

Images may be captured during events organised and hosted by the university using film photography, digital photography, video or other medium and may be used on the website, university prospectus or course brochures, other publicity material (such as internal and external newsletters), exhibition of student work or graduation ceremony brochure and may be provided to the media for publication in local or national newspapers or educational magazines and other resources. The university acknowledges its responsibilities in capturing images by photography or other means under applicable law, include:

The Human Rights Act 1998: The university recognises an individual’s rights to privacy as protected by this Act.

General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018): The university undertakes to inform all those whose images may be recorded (or their parents/guardians if subjects are under 18 years of age) of the purposes for which the images may be used by the university.

In this context the university informs all persons taking part in university activities that they may be photographed, filmed, videoed or otherwise captured in image form, and unless express objections are received, individuals attending an event are deemed to have given their consent by remaining at the event. Any queries or complaints should be raised with the event host in the first instance.

Data protection

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA 2018) we have a legal obligation to protect the information we hold. This applies to information such as:

• any applications for financial support such as the Access to Learning Fund
• housing applications and other housing related issues
• disability and disability support issues.

The university is keen to support its students and regularly receives enquiries from parents, carers, guardians and relatives regarding issues such as those above.

The university’s relationship though is with the student (or applicant) and we therefore cannot release information to parents or any other third parties unless prior permission is provided, usually in writing, from the student first.

This is a major difference from the relationship you may have had previously with schools and colleges, however it is a reflection of the transition your son/daughter is going through in to being an adult and the rights and responsibilities that come with it.

On application to the university and in enrolment we inform students that we will protect their data. What we can tell you as a parent/carer/guardian is general information regarding the support we offer to our students but as stated above we cannot discuss details of individual cases.
