Photo Release Form for Minors
Have you ever wondered why you need to sign a child photo release form before they participate in school or extracurricular activities? The reason is simple: to make sure children’s pictures or videos are not used without parental consent.
Organizations that work with media content featuring children are obligated to protect their privacy, especially in educational settings. That’s why obtaining permission to photograph a child is essential. These forms are commonly used in environments such as daycare, school, youth sports, summer camp, children’s auditions and talent shows. Educational institutions and childcare providers rely on them to get approval from parents or guardians to publish a child’s photo and video taken during school events, performances or group activities.
As social media continues to expand its reach, safeguarding the privacy of children has become increasingly crucial. A typical consent form outlines the conditions for using the media, examples of appropriate use and includes a signature section for identification and legal acknowledgment.
AidaForm offers a flexible way to develop tailored and polished consent forms that easily adapt to various situations. However, it’s always best to consult a legal expert before distributing the form to clients or parents.
