When to use this form
Use this form when a minor will join an activity you run and you need clear permission, emergency details, and a liability release. It suits schools, camps, clubs, sports leagues, churches, and event hosts. Common cases include a school outing, a weekend tournament, a youth retreat, or a summer workshop. For trips, pair it with a Field trip form. If staff may seek treatment, add a Permission and medical release form. Hosting inflatables or similar attractions? Share a Bounce house permission slip form for the specific risk. Parents gain transparency and control; you get accurate contacts and medical notes before day one. The result: faster check-in, safer decisions, and less back-and-forth on what families agreed to.
Must Ask Parental Consent and Release Questions
- What is the minor's full name, date of birth, and grade or age?
This confirms the right child and helps staff match rosters and records. DOB and grade guide age-based rules and any needed accommodations.
- Which activity are you authorizing, including location, dates, and any travel?
Specifics make consent unambiguous and limit it to the stated event. For off-campus activities, align this with your Field trip consent form.
- Does the child have allergies, medications, medical conditions, and a physician contact?
These details let you plan supervision and respond fast to issues. Having the physician info reduces delays if care is needed.
- Who are the emergency contacts, and do you permit emergency treatment if a parent cannot be reached?
Backup contacts and treatment consent enable timely action in urgent situations. Clear authorization reduces hesitation and protects staff while they help.
- What is your relationship to the child, your contact info, and will you accept the liability waiver and sign?
Documented authority and signature make the release enforceable. If you also need records, you can pair this form with a Document release authorization form.
