Shake me up Judy Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Rather than deal with the offenders properly, they stick cameras in the toilets to film every child. Which idiot came up with that one ? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred the shred Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 That is disgusting and well out of line, probably against the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Daphne Cain has said this was to be considered in the above according to the above Manx Radio report. Who exactly would have access to the videos ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 Wonder how much the hardware and installation cost too ? I heard that the new head at RGS has just paid £10,000 to carpet the school gym for examinations. You couldn't make it up. Who's authorising these policies ?

Which idiot came up with that one ? Exactly right. Identify the culprits, punish them with suspensions, detentions, education about vaping etc Those who continue to offend have a problem with addiction or mental health so therefore need proper help. The majority shouldn't punished for the conduct of the minority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Wright Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 The use of CCTV in the lavatory area can be lawful if they are positioned correctly. Same in pubs or public conveniences. If you read the article the use is suspended until compliance with a direction. However any usage must be proportionate to the issue it’s being used to combat, criminal damage, fighting, vaping, drug taking/dealing, etc. No use where any image would be captured in cubicles or looking down on urinals, basically. There may also be issues about how long the recording is kept before wiping and who can access. This all needs covering in a written policy. Plus prominent and unambiguous signage. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 I think this had been mentioned previously by Ballakermeen in that the cameras didn't cover the cubicles and was just the open space by the door coming in. From reading the Information Commissioner's document, it seems that the School didn't do a proper written risk assessment/DP impact assessment, there isn't anything in their CCTV policy (which is publicly available) etc etc. As such he has ordered they stop using them. They will then have to go through the process, do the assessments, update the policy etc, and can then start using them again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was reported by one of the parents kicking off that their kid might not be able to go to the toilet for 40 minutes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred the shred Posted April 25 Share Posted April 25 This headmaster at Ballakermeen seems to be making rules up as he goes along. Firstly children can only use the toilet at break times when it is busy and now this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
