Photo & Media Policy
DRAFT — REQUIRES BOARD/LEGAL APPROVAL. This document is a working draft and does not constitute adopted organizational policy until formally approved.
Every identifiable photograph of a child requires documented consent from a guardian, plus age-appropriate assent from the child. Consent records include purpose, date, expiry/review and can be revoked — upon which media are unpublished promptly.
We reject stereotypical “poverty imagery,” humiliating photographs and sensationalized depictions of distress. Children appear in our communications as they are: whole, dignified and full of potential.
