Reduce misuse risk
Publicly shared pupil images can be copied, altered, and reused outside the school’s control. Anonymisation helps reduce the usefulness of those images to bad actors.
Safer public-facing school photography
Protect pupil identities in public-facing school photography.
Schools still need strong photography for websites, social media, prospectuses and admissions. Safe Face AI helps you use those images more carefully by anonymising pupil faces before public use, while identifiable family delivery can remain secure and private through Splaat Photo.

Why schools are looking at this now
Public-facing pupil imagery now carries a different level of risk. Schools are under growing pressure to balance authentic photography with a more careful approach to safeguarding, privacy, and public visibility.
Protect pupil wellbeing
When a child’s likeness is manipulated, the harm can still be real. A more careful workflow helps reduce the risk of distress, humiliation, and wider emotional fallout.
Protect school reputation
Schools are judged not only on intent, but on safeguarding judgement. A safer public-image process shows foresight, responsibility, and care.
One photography workflow. Two different uses.
Keep family memories private. Make public imagery safer.
Identifiable images still have an important place when they are delivered privately to the right families. Public-facing channels are different. Safe Face AI helps schools separate those two uses clearly and sensibly.
