We own and operate a closed circuit television (CCTV) system at Newick CE Primary School
The purpose of this system is to:
Signs at Newick CE Primary School indicate that you are entering an area covered by surveillance equipment.
The day-to-day management of the system and control of the recordings is the responsibility of the School Business Manager.
Wherever possible, cameras are sited so that neighbouring properties cannot be overlooked and images recorded. Similarly, the movement of motorised cameras is restricted to prevent neighbouring properties being overlooked.
If a camera does overlook a neighbouring property, the owner or occupier of the property is consulted in advance.
Images cannot be held in the system for longer than 14 days unless there is a legitimate reason for keeping them. In such cases, the reasons must be recorded by senior officers in the Property department.
Reasons for keeping specific images for longer than 14 days may include the following:
If a collision in the Newick school car park is unreported, this may constitute criminal damage, according to legal advice we have received.
This means that disclosure of recorded images is permitted under the Data Protection Act, but only if:
Disclosure can only be made to the police or the legal representatives involved in the prosecution.
If you want to view recordings of yourself you must fill out a Subject Access Request Form and return it with a search fee and two forms of identification. You should indicate if viewing will be sufficient or if a copy is required.
You will get a response within 40 days of us receiving the form, the fee and valid identification.
You may also be asked to provide a photograph of yourself so that the correct images can be retrieved. If your request is granted, any other person appearing in the images will be edited out.
