If someone has agreed to be interviewed or filmed, it’s important to ensure
they know what you are filming and how the footage will be used.
You can get consent verbally, but usually you should also ask your
contributors to sign a form, known as a consent form. This will confirm that
they know what they are being filmed for and are happy for the footage to be
filmed, edited and broadcast.
If you are filming with someone who is under 16 years of age – and
occasionally under 18 – you must ensure you have not only their consent, but the
consent of their parent or guardian.
If you are planning to film with someone under 16 on a day when they would
usually be at school, you probably need to request permission from their school,
requesting that they miss some time.
