(1) Use of still or
video cameras or voice recorders by anyone other than an authorized employee,
individual, parent, guardian, or legal representative to photograph or record
an individual will be allowed only with the prior authorization of the
superintendent or the superintendent's designee. Permission to photograph and
record will be granted for one specific use, and the authorization will not
extend to any other use.
(2)
Photographs, videos, and recordings of an adult individual will be taken for
publication only with a signed informed consent from the individual or the
individual's guardian or legal representative.
(3) Photographs, videos, and recordings of a
minor individual will be taken for publication only with a signed informed
consent from the parent, guardian, or legal representative.
(4) Every effort will be made to preserve the
inherent dignity of the individual and to preclude exploitation or
embarrassment of the individual or the family of the individual.
(5) Photographs, videos, and recordings of
individuals are not to be altered to prevent identification in any manner that
would tend to perpetuate the stigma attached to the public image of individuals
with mental illness or an intellectual disability.
This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code sections
