In schools you are not. All the people I have talked to, including a couple of ladies who are on governing bodies have been told to remove all photos apart from the current intake, and only if they have permission from parents to keep them up.
Maybe the local authority are reading too much in...
There certainly is, but they have never been told to remove all photos from the walls. I remember at school, we had sports teams photos going back many years.
Interesting fall out from the GDPR legislation.
All pictures of children in school have been taken down, including all the school sports teams, from the past as the rules suggest that to show them requires permission.
So presumably they would have had to contact every child or parent/guardian...
