*It's very hard to get schools and clubs to understand that she really doesn't want them to be in group photos or photos of activities that are posted on social media.*
When my youngest daughter was at school less than a decade ago, it was possible to withhold permission for one's child to be in photographs that would be published publicly (in papers or on social media, for example). This was the same when I was leading a cub scout group. Specific permission has to be given.
Schools and clubs have no excuse for "not understanding" this.
Yes, you're right, and she's made it clear for all her childrens schools, clubs and activities. But recently her daughter went on an activity holiday organised exclusively for adopted children and the organiser tried to persuade her that it was fine for my granddaughter to be in group photographs online, claiming that it was "part of the bonding process".
Much the same happened at her previous primary school where her request for them not to be in published photos was blatantly ignored, though she did manage to stop them by going to the school and making a fuss. Just what a hard-working single parent with a full time job wants to waste her time doing.
