Youth Trip Guardian Consent

A guardian's consent for an overnight or a mission trip: the leaders, the travel, the conduct, the medication and the contact.

Where this comes from

Not a sample we wrote for this page. This is the document the product puts in your account, as a draft, the moment you say what you do.

Written for your trade

Name your trade during setup — churches, nonprofits and volunteers — and this is waiting for you, already written, in your words, with the blanks marked and the points a lawyer settles flagged for one. Edit it, or paste in what you already use.

It is a starting point and not legal advice: the wording is yours to change and your attorney's to check.

How it reaches your account

  1. Say what you do. Pick your trade when you set up; nothing to find or download.
  2. It is there as a draft. The 21 blanks marked, and 1 point flagged for a lawyer.
  3. Settle the notes, then send. The product will not send it with a note still in it.

How this works for churches, nonprofits and volunteers

What it asks you to fill in

Read off the document itself, so this list cannot drift away from what the document actually asks for.

21 blanks in this document

guardian nameparticipant namedate of birthdatetrip namebusiness namedeparture datetimedeparture pointreturn datetimeaccommodationactivitiestrip leaderleader phoneadult countyouth counttransporthealth notesguardian phonesecond contactsecond phonephoto permission

Each one is a box on the send screen, and a value your own system can pass through the API. The rest of the wording is the same for every signer.

How they are filled

  • Once per send, from what you already know.
  • Or from your own system, through the API.
  • Into the document, never into its wording.
  • What somebody signed is the version they were shown.

Questions it can ask

Beyond the blanks, a template can ask the signer questions. These come from the product's own question library and suit this document; add them, change them, or write your own.

As the signer sees them
  • Parent or guardian
  • Child's full nameAsked once for each child
  • Child's date of birthAsked once for each child
  • Initial for each childAsked once for each child
  • Any allergies we should know aboutLeave blank if none.OptionalHidden from staff once answered
  • You may text me about this booking

Each question is checked where it is answered — a date that is on the calendar, a birthday that is not in the future, an address long enough to be one — in the same words on the signing page, on the counter tablet and in the API, and the signature waits until every required one is done.

  • Sections. Group questions under a heading, and give a section a page of its own.
  • Conditions. Show a question only when an earlier answer calls for it; a hidden question is never asked and never owed.
  • Flags. Put an answer in front of your staff when it needs a person, such as a safety box left unticked.
  • Questions first. Ask them before the document is shown, and the document after.

Everything a template carries →

What a lawyer has to settle

These are the notes already written into the document, not our opinion about the law where you operate. The product refuses to send a document with one still in it, which is the point of them.

SignSealer does not give legal advice and this document is not legal advice. What it does is put the questions in front of you before somebody signs, rather than after.

Check the rules on photographing and identifying minors where you operate, and what a faith or youth organisation's safeguarding policy must contain.

The document

The real text, with the blanks shown as blanks and the notes above lifted out so they are read rather than skimmed past.

Youth Trip Guardian Consent

I, guardian name, am the parent or legal guardian of participant name, born date of birth, and I sign this on date for the trip trip name with business name, leaving departure datetime from departure point and returning return datetime.

  1. Permission. I give permission for the young person to go on the trip, to stay at accommodation, and to take part in the activities planned: activities.
  2. Who is leading. The trip is led by trip leader, reachable on leader phone, with adult count adults for youth count young people. The adults have been screened as business name's safeguarding policy requires.
  3. Travel. I authorise travel by transport, including by a carrier business name contracts. I understand that the schedule may change for weather, traffic or safety.
  4. Conduct. I have read the trip's code of conduct with the young person. I understand that a young person who breaks it seriously may be sent home at my cost, and that I will be told first.
  5. Health and medication. Allergies, conditions, medication and dietary needs are written here: health notes. Medication is handed to the leader labelled and in its original container.
  6. Emergency medical care. If the young person is injured or becomes ill and I cannot be reached in time, I authorise the leader to obtain emergency medical care, including transport by ambulance, and I am responsible for its cost. I can be reached on guardian phone, and if not, second contact on second phone.
  7. Money and property. The young person is responsible for their own money, phone and property, and business name is not.
  8. Photographs. Whether the young person's image may be used, and where, is set here: photo permission.
  9. Risks. Travel and group activity carry risks that supervision reduces and cannot remove. I accept the ordinary risks of what is planned, and nothing here waives a claim the law does not allow a guardian to waive on a young person's behalf.

By signing I confirm that I am the young person's parent or legal guardian, that I have read this, and that I meant to sign it.
