The council should issue her with one that does meet their requirements then.
Can always count on a council to ensure no good deed goes unpunished, can’t you.
GDPR the council becomes responsible for it and it is rather strict. She isn’t just Joe public recording the public she is a council worker.

The school should just put up a fixed camera.
They already have cameras in their school and all of those will already comply with their GDPR and DATA Protection regulations.
