Ill. Admin. Code tit. 2, § 775.130 - Release of Information to the Media
a) Department news releases dealing with
Department policies, investigations, audits, evaluations, or reviews shall be
approved by the Director or his designee.
b) The production of documentary television
programs or films, as contrasted with short news segments, which involve
Department clients or children for whom the Department is legally responsible
and which portray the mission and activities of the Department may only be
authorized by the Director. Parental or caretaker approval is required for
children for whom the Department is not legally responsible for participation
in such programs or films if the programs and films are produced, financed, or
authorized by the Department.
c)
The Guardianship Administrator, or his designee, shall be consulted and written
approval obtained whenever children for whom the Department is legally
responsible are to be featured in any audio-visual presentation directed toward
the public. This includes photographs, radio and television programs, or
recordings. Before such material is published, the Guardianship Administrator,
or his designee, shall sign a release form specifying the allowable use of such
production or products. Such permission shall be subject to the following
conditions:
1) Participation on the part of
the child has been voluntary;
2) No
photograph shall appear in any publication with faces masked to prevent
identification;
3) All material
shall be directed toward increasing the public's understanding of conditions,
needs or interests of the participating children; and
4) Photographs taken for use in nationally
circulated publications, including pictures for scientific, educational, or
other special purposes, shall first be approved by the Director or his
designee.
d) All
Department administrators shall take precautions to preserve the
confidentiality of each client's relationship with the Department or its
providers and to guard against exploitation or embarrassment to Department
clients.
