Use of Children's Information in Schools - Find a freedom of information request

I am currently undertaking research which aims to explore the use of children's information at and by schools, specifically focusing upon use of children's images/photographs and the consent processes involved.

This is a request for information that is being made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

I would be grateful if you would please provide me with the following information:

1. Please confirm whether the authority has developed policies or guidance on school use of children's images, whether on school websites, on school social media pages or any other media; and if such policies/guidance exists a copy of the policy or guidance and any related templates or example documentation including consent forms and privacy notices is requested.

2. Please confirm whether the authority has developed policies or guidance on the use of children's images by facial recognition technology either by or in schools; and if such policies/guidance exist a copy of the policy or guidance and any related templates or example documentation including consent forms and privacy notices is requested.
