Parent permission slip for trips and activities

Before a school trip or club activity, you need a parent's clear permission. This form asks for the child's name and date of birth, the activity and its date, the parent or guardian's name, phone and email, whether the child has allergies or medical needs (with details), whether photos may be taken, and a signature.

When to use it

Send the link to parents a couple of weeks before the activity. Parents can sign on a phone in a minute rather than returning a paper slip, and you receive every answer in the same format, including medical details you need on the day.

The PDF your respondents receive

Each slip is a signed PDF with the child's details and the permissions, which the organiser can print for the day and a parent can keep. It contains information about a child, so store and share it carefully and delete it when it is no longer needed.
