Working with children in art protocols The South Australian Government is committed to upholding and promoting the rights of people to freedom in the practice of the arts, and to encouraging the involvement of young people and children in the arts, both as participants in the creative process and as members of an audience.
Statement of purpose and principle The following protocols have been designed to help artists and arts organisations understand their legal obligations and to establish responsible steps for artists when they involve children in the creation, exhibition or distribution of creative works[1].
These protocols define a child as anyone under 18 years. Note that these Protocols require you to have parental consent for employing children under the age of 15 before you commence your work[2] 2.
Arts South Australia may ask for a copy of required consents. Creation of a work of art 4. If the child is under the age of 15, you will also need to provide evidence of the consent of the parent s or guardian s stating that you have explained the context for the work to the parent s or guardian s and the child, and: they understand the nature and intended outcome of the work they commit to direct supervision of the child while the child is naked they agree it is not a 'sexual, exploitative or abusive context'.
Exhibitions and performances 6. Distribution 8. If you can't get that written statement from the artist, you will need to get consent from a parent or guardian - or from the 'child' if they have since turned 18 - to distribute the image. If the work was created with Arts South Australia funding after 1 April , the artist would need to confirm that they followed these protocols as well as the relevant laws.
Arts South Australia does not require parental consent for distribution of images that include children who happened to be in a public space, where the children were not employed by the artist and where they took no direction from the artist in the creation of the image.
Organisations whose websites host images that are independently uploaded by artists or registered members will be required to have a web policy that complies with these Protocols. Images of infants less than one year old are excluded. Images documenting activity in a public space, where the children were not employed by the artist and took no directions from the artist in the creation of the image, are also excluded.
Protocols Artists and arts organisations: the law and your practice If you employ children in the course of your creative work, with or without payment, or if you present or distribute depictions of children, there are five main areas of law that may be relevant. Laws concerning the employment of children 2. Laws relating to child pornography and obscenity 3. Classification and censorship laws 4.
Privacy laws and laws relating to the photography or filming of children 5. These Protocols are intended to achieve the following outcomes in relation to each of the following three key stages, as discussed in further detail below: Creation: Ensuring that the rights of children are protected throughout the artistic process, based on informed consent about the process and the intended outcome of the artwork Exhibition and performance: Ensuring that artworks involving images of children have been produced and will be presented with due care and sensitivity Distribution: Protecting images of children from being exploited, including use of the images beyond the original context of the creative work.
Creation of a work of art All recipients of Arts South Australia funding must agree through their funding agreements to abide by any applicable laws and regulations governing working with children in South Australia, including with respect to: the employment of children of compulsory education age the establishment and maintenance of child safe environments working conditions and occupational health and safety.
Nudity While no South Australian law explicitly prohibits a child from being employed fully or partly naked [3] for an arts project, artists must comply with all laws relating to child pornography and indecent or offensive material. In addition, we require written confirmation from a parent or guardian of any child under the age of 15 that the artist has explained the context for the work to them and to the child, and: they understand the nature and intended outcome of the work they commit to direct supervision of the child while the child is naked they agree it is not a 'sexual, exploitative or abusive context'.
Exhibition and performance Artists and arts organisations exhibiting or presenting depictions of children who are fully or partly naked should refer to the laws governing indecent or offensive material and child pornography in South Australia. Distribution Distribution of depictions of children includes visual material and text, published in printed form or through digital media.
Images of infants are excluded from this requirement. We understand that applying for federal funding and managing a grant can be a significant undertaking.
