The pages in this section give some basic information about naturism and photography - with particular emphasis on the issues relating to photographs of children.

Please Note

None of those who have contributed to this page have had legal training. If you are at all uncertain about a specific image or about photography in a specific situation, you are advised to obtain advice from someone who is formally qualified to give it.

CCBN members should be able to obtain such advice via CCBN Head Office.

A large reference library should have several books and journals on Criminal Law which will provide further information, including details of some of the cases noted above. The Criminal Law Review  for February 2003 contains an excellent article "Sentencing for Offences involving Child Pornography", by  Alasdair A Gillespie, which is particularly recommended.

Important

If you come across child pornography, report it immediately. If the source is on the 'net, contact the Internet Watch Foundation.
