Use this form where written consent is required: consent must always be obtained for nursery-age children. For children over nursery age, written consent is usually needed only for visits requiring a higher level of risk assessment or taking place outside normal school hours. Parents or carers should still be informed about such visits and given an opportunity to withdraw their child.
