We respect that the images, videos, names and voices, culture and knowledge of First Nations peoples belongs to them and their communities, and we are committed to honoring cultural protocols and best practice around how they are used.
We ask for some personal details in this form. These are collected for the purpose of capturing your consent for Blakollective.

The personal information collected in this form will be stored and used in accordance with our privacy policy, which you can read about on our website here.
Our ethical storytelling guidelines inform the way we share stories and content. You’re in charge of how we use your image – if there’s anything in the future we want to do with the content that’s outside our original agreement we’ll check in with you beforehand.
Individual photography
Anyone and everyone (or a legally authorised representative) FYA interviews, photographs or films must give their free, enthusiastic, and informed consent for us to do so.
We are asking if you are comfortable with us using your photo in content as part of Blakollective .
If an individual doesn’t want their image used they absolutely don’t have to provide consent.
Before publishing any interviews, photographs or films all staff must share the content for approval with the participant.
Large groups and events
When filming or photographing people in public spaces or at large events, consent is not legally required from people whose faces are close up and/or are clearly visible and identifiable.
However, wherever possible, FYA aims to seek informed consent from the group by either sharing this information prior, posting signage at events to alert people that we will be filming / taking photos and asking those who don’t wish to be filmed or photographed to let us know. If it’s not possible to inform all participants prior to capture, we seek to do so prior to publication.
If you’re not keen to take part, no worries at all, this is 100% optional to participate in. Please set the appropriate response in the form.
