Privacy and Reporting on Children and Vulnerable People

Our principles

• Protect dignity, privacy and safety above public curiosity.
• Do not publish identifying details of children in any sensitive case.
• Avoid revealing medical, financial or other sensitive personal data unless essential to the public interest and legally permitted.
• Obtain parental or guardian consent when children appear in celebratory or non-sensitive public coverage.
• Obscure faces and withhold identifying details where publication could cause harm.
