Built around safeguarding and GDPR
Consent, access and school support
Children’s safety sits at the heart of the service. We manage parent registration, track consent choices, and support schools with clear documentation, including a DPIA on request. Families are given the information they need to make an informed choice, and access is issued through a process designed specifically for school environments.
Safer early years marketing imagery
A major benefit for schools is that we can take a do-not-use social media marketing list and apply it to the images made available in the school’s admin area, helping ensure that children on that list do not appear in the final collection of photos available for download. For schools wanting an additional layer of protection for public-facing imagery, SafeFace AI can also support the creation of safer marketing images for wider use.
Safeguarding in practice
Every photographer working with Splaat Photo is:
-
Enhanced DBS checked

Registered with the DBS Update Service
-

This gives schools a stronger operational safeguarding framework, while helping families feel confident that photography and video are being managed with care, control and clear accountability.

Built for education settings since 2009
Splaat Photo was founded in 2009 by Greg McClarnon, with a simple aim: to give families a lasting visual record of their child’s time at school.
Today, we photograph approximately three million images each year across around 2,500 school events in the UK. That experience has shaped a service designed to give schools high-quality content, lower admin, and a better experience for families.
We built Splaat Photo because we believed schools and families deserved something better: broader coverage across the academic year, more secure delivery, and a service built around safeguarding, consent and genuine parent value.
