What’s a SAR?
This is Subject Access Request. A parent could request everything we have on any of our systems that is about their child, possibly including CPOMs. This is another reason why you need to be factual, and knowing that parents may read everything you write.

Nude, semi-nude or other indecent images of children
If you are aware of someone sharing an image, being sent an image or being pressured into taking pictures, please report this to the police on 101 or online. You can also phone CrimeStoppers on 0800 555 111. Under no circumstance should you look at the image or share it. Turn the phone off it it is on.
