Implementation
  • Where activities require authorisation, either to comply with national regulations, or to comply with our service policies, our service requires that the authorisation is provided in writing and is dated. These activities include:
            o Administration of medication
            o Administration of medical treatment, dental treatment, general first aid
                products and ambulance transportation.
            o Excursions including regular outings.
            o Incursions.
            o Taking of photographs by people who aren’t educators
            o Water based activities
            o Enrolment of children including naming of authorised nominees and persons
authorised to consent to                 medical treatment or trips outside the service premises
  • The format of written authorisations required under the national law must comply with the regulations. Please see specific policies for more information.
  • Our service does not accept verbal authorisations in any circumstances except in situations requiring:
            o Emergency administration of medication, including emergencies involving
                anaphylaxis or asthma

Confirmation of Authorisation
All authorisation forms received (other than the initial enrolment form) from parents or guardians are to be checked for completion and checked that the authoriser (name and signature) is the nominated parent, guardian or nominee listed on the enrolment form. An authorised nominee will be asked to provide photo identification to authenticate this process.

If incomplete or inappropriately signed, the authorisation form should be returned to the parent or guardian for correction.

Unless confirmation has been proven, the activity will be suspended for the child’s participation until the form has been completed and authorised correctly.
