Is a verbal consent to use photographs for promotion adequate or should waivers be signed where students are identified or identifiable?
The Act makes no provision for verbal consent. If the program in which the student is enrolled or participating is one where such promotion is a reasonable use of a photograph, then this use should be stated in the disclosure statement provided at the time of collection. (E.g. sports teams, music programs, fine arts programs) If the promotion is not a regular part of the program, specific written consent should be obtained prior to use of a photograph.
