If a recording is going to take place on the day you are in attendance, you are informed in the invitation to attend and on the day of recording the session (normally verbally) prior to any recording taking place.

You will be told of the purpose of the recording and that it will be made available for use by other related SBC team members. It is likely if you ask a question this will be recorded.

Please ensure you are aware that anything else that may be in the background could be recorded.
