Photography/filming consent

Photograph/Filming Consent

I have read the Photograph/Filming consent below ( downloadable version is available at

The Royal Academy of Dance (RAD) does not allow photographs, video, audio (sound) recordings or any other images of anyone to be taken without their consent.

By signing this form, you agree to give the RAD your consent for you or your child/ward to be photographed and/or filmed by the RAD.

The RAD may use the photographs and footage in the following ways as part of our legitimate interests, and we may share them with local partners, and RAD offices worldwide) to use:

• As promotional material in RAD publications (print and digital)
• On the corporate RAD and RAD shop websites, social media channels and third-party partner sites
• To distribute to press and media outlets to use in their print/digital publications and on their social media channels, as requested
• To be shared with RAD staff and students for training/educational purposes
• For Library and Archives specific marketing and promotions

• Staff and photographers will be informed of students who do have consent and they may be excluded from group situations.
• In group settings where complete exclusion is difficult (e.g. large class photos) we will make reasonable efforts to avoid clearly identifying students. As it is often hard to exclude students in class groups, the RAD will make sure that no names or other identifying details are used

The RAD will only keep and use the images and footage for as long as is appropriate for business purposes (this means, for as long as we need to have access to the pictures/videos to operate as a company).

You are free to withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to bwilliams@rad.org.nz. You do not need to specify a reason why you are withdrawing consent. If you do decide to withdraw your consent at a later time, any pictures/videos/audio taken and uploaded will not be used in any future publications or on our websites, but may continue to appear in publications already (including hardcopy publication) in circulation or in cache until cleared.

No monetary fee will be granted.

Choose from the following:*

I confirm that I would like to participate in photographs at Summer School and give consent for the RAD to use the images as outlined in this form.
