I don’t know but there is clearly a problem because you don’t just make rules like this out of the blue. I think that either had some nasty old dudes staring at young kids or someone stopped a potential kidnapping. Something is behind this and the school is taking the safe way out. If the facts come out, I would be interested in know what is really going on.

From the linked thread: "Mrs Ethelston's Church of England Primary School, in Uplyme, Devon, prohibited photos and video filming, claiming it was due to changes in child protection and images legislation."

Legislation (government) would seem to be behind this.
