Parental consent must be obtained for an Overseas Visit. Detailed information must be provided regarding the visit (see Section 11.6) to enable parents to give informed consent. It is important to remember that parents are giving consent for the itinerary and activities that they have been informed about. Whilst opportunities may arise to do additional activities once on the visit, care needs to be exercised to ensure that parental consent is not being abused.
As part of the consent form parents should be made aware of/and agree to, the procedures for dealing with unacceptable behaviour. A sample consent letter can be found in the Toolkits section of the website.
