Videotape recording of interviews with patients and their families is now commonly used in child psychiatric practice. Involvement in videotape recording has a unique meaning for each patient and their family, and may potentially have a profound effect.

There are several purposes for the making of videotape recordings. The recording is based on a prior negotiation with the patient or a responsible adult, including verbal and written explanation and the gaining of formal consent.

This document outlines the procedures involved in videotaping, including ensuring confidentiality and obtaining consent. It provides guidance for all child and adolescent psychiatrists who are involved in the making and subsequent use of videotape recording. This new report replaces the previous document CR20, published in 1993.
