Cctv policy

This CCTV Policy sets out clear and compliant guidelines for the responsible, lawful, and safe use of CCTV within the children’s home. The purpose of CCTV is to enhance safety, safeguard children and staff, and protect property, while respecting privacy and dignity. CCTV systems are used in accordance with data protection legislation, with clear rules on camera placement, monitoring, recording, storage, and access to footage. Recordings are only viewed by authorised persons and retained for a defined period. The policy ensures transparency, informs all relevant parties about CCTV use, and promotes a balanced approach that prioritises safeguarding without unnecessary intrusion.
