At FUNDA, safeguarding children is our top priority. This policy ensures the responsible use of cameras and mobile devices by staff, parents, and visitors to our settings.
Use of Photos/Videos
Photos/videos are used to document children’s learning and development and for promotional purposes.
These are uploaded securely to children’s online learning journals via the FUNDA app. 🔒
Parental consent is mandatory before any photo/video is taken (as part of the FUNDA registration form).
No photos/videos will be used outside FUNDA or for promotional purposes without explicit parental permission.
Mobile Devices by FUNDA Staff
Staff may use mobile devices strictly for:
Operating the secure sign-in/out system.
Tracking attendance.
Communicating with parents.
In case of an emergency. 🚨
Staff devices are used responsibly to uphold safeguarding standards.
Mobile Devices by Children
Children cannot use mobile devices while at the setting.
If a child is found using a mobile device:
Parents will be contacted immediately.
The child may be dismissed from camp (in line with our Camera & Mobile Device and Safeguarding Policies), without refund or credit.
FUNDA staff may confiscate the device until the child is collected.
Safeguarding First
FUNDA has a zero-tolerance policy for inappropriate use of mobile devices to ensure the safety and security of children, staff, and parents.
We appreciate your cooperation in helping us create a safe and secure environment for all. 🌟
