Types of permission slips

Permission slips usually come in either of the two ways that will be outlined below:

1. Blanket or general form
2. Informed consent form

Both types will contain information that will be explaining the activity that your child will be engaging in and they will also indicate that you have given your consent for your child to take part in them. Both will also include the date as well as the time for the respective activities. Apart from these similarities they are different from each other.

The blanket permission slips normally have a complete waiver of liability. By consenting to this slip you will be agreeing that the school may not be liable for any injury to your child during the trip no matter what or who caused the injury. This means that any mistake committed by the school or teacher due to negligence will not be held accountable to any injury to your child during the trip. The word is ‘may’ because these kind of slips are disliked by many courts in various states and it is likely that the waiver may not be enforceable.

On the other hand the informed consent permission slips will explain the school activity and any other natural or inherent risk/s that can be occasioned by the nature of the trip. By appending your signature you will be agreeing that the school will not be liable to any injury to your child occasioned by the inherent risks. However the school will be held liable to any injury caused by their own negligence and not the inherent risks.

It is good to know which type of permission slip you are dealing to avoid consenting to something that you will regret in future.
