Holiday Club Registration Form

NOTE: Ofsted require us to request the permission of Parents / Carers for Emergency Medical Treatment. However, the medical profession take the view that the parent's or carer's consent to medical treatment cannot be delegated. This view is explicit in the Children's Act 1989. Thus, medical consent forms have no legal status and a doctor or nurse insisting on the consent of a parent / carer has the right to do so. For this reason we cannot insist on parents giving consent by signing the statement above. However, it can be a comfort to medical staff to have general consent in advance from parents / carers or to have a member of staff on hand able to sign forms required by medical authorities if parents / carers cannot be contacted.

Suncream

Would you please ensure that, on sunny days, you have applied sun protection cream before you send your child to playgroup.  We will supply the following sun protection cream (or an equivalent SPF 30, hypoallergenic cream) for us to reapply protection during the day as necessary. (This will also be available at the beginning of the day, in case you have not had time to apply sun protection at home.)

Sun intolerant skin, Dermatologically tested, Perfume free, Hypoallergenic (or equivalent)

If you do not wish your child to use the sun protection cream we provide (for example if your child is allergic to certain sun protection creams), please could you indicate this below and supply a named bottle of suitable suntan lotion, and hand this to a member of staff  to allow us to re-apply protection as appropriate.

Intimate care

We are required to obtain permission from the parents/carers to assist the children with their intimate care in accordance with our policy. All of our staff are experienced in assisting children with their intimate care. They undertake this with sensitivity and respect for the dignity of each child.

A copy of the Intimate Care Policy can be found on our website.

We will work with our parents/carers to assist and enable the children to manage their own intimate care as soon as they are able to do so. There may be medical reasons why this is difficult for some children and we would be able to draw up a health care plan for children in these circumstances in full consultation with parents and any other health care providers.

We would be grateful if you could complete the section below giving consent for our staff to carry out intimate care procedures when necessary.

• I have read the Intimate Care Policy
• I give permission for preschool to provide intimate care to my child
• I will advise the school of anything that may affect issues of personal care (if medication is changed or my child has an infection for example)
• I understand the procedures that will be carried out and will contact the preschool immediately if there are any concerns.

All preschool children who are currently funded will be entitled to use their funding for Holiday Club.

Please contact the Preschool office to check if you have any hours remaining at the end of the summer term.

Permission to photograph your child - Terms and Conditions

1. Your consent is valid for the period your child attends the Duchy Preschool. If you have given appropriate consent, some images of your child may be used after this time in publicity material and on the Preschool website. If you wish these images to be withdrawn after your child leaves the Preschool please contact us in writing.
2. Consent can be withdrawn at any time by contacting the Preschool in writing.
3. The images we take will be of activities that show the Preschool and children in a positive light. Images may also be taken of children in our breakfast and after-school club.
4. We may use group photographs or footage with very general labels e.g.
‘learning about nature’.
5. If we use photographs of individual children on the website or in publicity material, we will not use the name of that child in the accompanying text or photo caption. If we name a child in the text, we will not use a photograph of that child to accompany the article.
6. If a child has won an award and the parent would like the name of their child to
accompany their picture we will obtain explicit permission from the parent before
using the image.
7. We will make every effort to ensure that we do not allow images to be taken of any children for whom we do not have permission or who are ‘at risk’ or disallowed from having their photographs taken for legal or social reasons.
8. We will take all reasonable measures to ensure the images are used solely for the purposes for which they are intended and not passed on to any third party websites or publishers. However, we cannot guarantee this and take no responsibility for the way images are used by other websites or publishers or for any consequences arising from publication where images have been used without our consent.
