"From the BBC website: “ A council has apologised after parents were offered a choice of class photos with or without children with complex needs in them. Parents at Aboyne Primary complained after being sent a link from a photography company offering them alternative pictures.” The school were not involved in the decision to offer pictures without disabled children in them, it was the photography company. What say you, good people of the fora, is it acceptable to do this, do you get frustrated with disabled people being in photos, or do you think it’s unacceptable to delete the disabled?" Personally I think it is incredibly inappropriate for the photographers to make this type of decision, but also rather bizarre that it would cross their mind. I do wonder if a parent had asked for the children in question to be removed for their pictures, and the company just offered the same option to others. Either way, I think it's sick

"One mother says she now wonders how many parents ordered the version with her daughter removed. " I think that’s the point. A lot of talk about inclusion and maybe the kids understand it at school but don’t hear it at home. Far as I understand all orders cancelled. Tempest have did my kids schools and presumably they organise, do the online and payments and a local Photographer does the work as and when, but their reputation will take an absolute battering and deservedly | |||

"What about hidden disabilities? Seems like we as a society have a lot to learn and this honestly this makes me sick to my stomach." Ahh it's ok as long as you look normal, or close enough. The level of "you dont look disabled" ignorance is large. | |||

"What's the story behind this I wonder I don't hope the photography company gets closed down because people will lose livelihoods but 'on the face of it' some retraining needs to happen at the very least accompanied by a very public apology." Depends on what went out on order sheets and to what stage school stepped in to stop it I think tempest use their resource on web for orders and the photographer is a local freelancer so maybe as company name known and photographers isn’t, it’s slightly unfair. | |||

" some retraining needs to happen at the very least accompanied by a very public apology." The photographer's explanation to the school was "some children take time to get focussed" | |||

" some retraining needs to happen at the very least accompanied by a very public apology. The photographer's explanation to the school was "some children take time to get focussed"" Well that's quite true if any group of young kids. I don't think it's a reason to Photoshop them out of photos  | |||

"Well I personally don't want a picture of other people's children so just a picture of my daughter or son alone thanks. I'm sure that in this era of fakery and vanity someone somewhere is offering to Photoshop their children's appearances and guaranteed some parents will accept "It was the "whole class" photo. Schools usually do individual ones plus a class one. Parents have the choice of what, if anything, to buy. We rarely buy photos from school because it costs £40 just to do a digital download!! | |||

What say you, good people of the fora, is it acceptable to do this, do you get frustrated with disabled people being in photos, or do you think it’s unacceptable to delete the disabled?" That shows the character of those people and the hatred they have for fellow humans. | |||

" some retraining needs to happen at the very least accompanied by a very public apology. The photographer's explanation to the school was "some children take time to get focussed"" My first school picture, there were several children poking their tongues out at other children. We weren't disabled though, so that's the picture we fucking got. Fuck me what is this world coming to. | |||

" it was probably parents asking for the service and the company offered it to everyone as a result." Including the parents of the three deleted children. The company should have obviously declined. Where do you draw the line ? E.G. Could you remove the tall kid because he makes my son look small ? | |||

As a parent of a neuro diverse child i find that notion abhorent. If any parents took up that offer they need to take a long hard look at tbemselves. The school and council need to distance themselves from that company. | |||

"Happens all the time sadly. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-68692977" Access to leisure activities for disabled people is woeful. As a wheelchair using parent, I've been unable to get into all sorts of leisure venues where kids parties are being held. On some occasions, I've had to send my daughter in with her classmates and just sit in the car outside while everyone else has a coffee inside. Any disabled child would be equally unable to participate. It's not a nice feeling. | |||
