Hi a boy in my class flicked something small at another boy. The
second boy flicked it back, and he got caught. We then had a
discussion and I asked them how they would feel if the lesson was
videoed so any dispute, like the one this week could be settled
without having to resort to any sort of suspect "rendition". The
answer shocked me, they were all keen to be recorded. Its on the whole
a pretty nice class, with no problem children in it.
The proposal is to record the class saving say the last 5 minutes of
action, then rewinding to settle any misdimeaners.
There is no CCTV inside at my school.
There must be Data Protection issues with my proposal, what are they?

cheers

As long as the film is within the school - there are no DP issues.

We have over 20 CCTV cameras - though not in classrooms yet, though I
think this is more down to the teachers' fear of being observed, rather
than the students'

Would I need parents permission?

I think you only need to ask if it is going to be shown externally -
probably easiest if a consent form is part of your enrolment procedure.
