Learn more about Parental Consent Form

The Parental Consent Form allows a parent or other legal guardian to give consent for their child to participate in activities, attend events, or for third parties to use information related to the child for a specific purpose. While having a consent form may not be required, it's important to be prepared in the case of an emergency, injury, or unforeseen circumstance.

As the company or organization creating this form, you should obtain the minor’s name, detail the purpose for needing parental consent, and include any instructions or rules the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) need to understand prior to signing the form. You should also ask for emergency contact information in the event you need to communicate urgently on a matter related to the minor.

Use the Parental Consent Form document if:

• You run a school or other child care program
• You run an after-school care program or other extracurricular activity
• You are planning an off-site event for children
• You will be responsible for children in the absence of their parents
