Sample Consent Form
Gaining pupils' and parents' agreement to the Rules for Responsible Internet
Use is important but requires sound organisation. Some schools do this
once each year, at the same time as checking the home and emergency contact
details. The Rules for Responsible Internet Use should be included with
the letter to parents to avoid any misunderstanding.
For
pupils above the age of 16 and not living at home or for pupils 18 or
older, the school should be able to rely on the consent of the pupil alone.
Otherwise parent's consent must be obtained. It is also wise to obtain
parent's permission to publish pupil's work and to publish pupil's photographs,
subject to strict safeguards, on the school Web site.
