Drylaw’s Family Fun Day

Great fun between the showers at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre yesterday, where firefighters from Crewe Toll station and Drylaw Police joined the local community at the Family Fun event.  The pony rides, face painting and bouncy castle were as popular as ever, but it seems the kids just can’t get enough of those sumo suits!

  1. Dave – really Mr Brown is presenting as a total liability for NEN at the moment. It is a total disgrace that whatever employment he is presently signed off that he is “working” on other projects. This is a matter of public concern and something your publication should not be associated with. Surely?

  2. Dave: children are not individuals-they are minors and are vulnerable in open access sites such as this. Any local children’s charity will give you guidelines and advice as well as the council.

  3. How come Thomas Brown is, once again, working for NEN while on sick leave from his council job?

    1. Hi Sam,

      I don’t have a council job and my illness is of no concern to you or anyone reading the nen blog.

      Thanks for your concern.

      Thomas.

  4. Perhaps you have a special dispensation to do this, but I’ve not comet across “editorial context” nor is the fact that pix are taken in a public place remotely applicable in the case of children under 16. If you didn’t obtain parental/child permission, the individuals have every right to legal recourse. Child protection is paramount. Another gaffe from the NEN.

    1. Hi Nemo

      Thanks for your comment.

      As far as I am aware there are no legal restrictions on photography in a public place and no presumption of privacy for individuals in a public place, but your knowledge of the law may be greater than mine and I will certainly seek advice.

      Thank you again for bringing the issue to our attention

      Dave

  6. Are you aware of the child protection issues involving the publication of photographs of children under 16? Did this publication obtain parental consent to do this?
