Statement Of Consent For Parents/Guardians Of Students Attending A LILA* Course
Pastoral Care
When enrolling my child/children on a course with LILA*, I understand that I am consenting to the following levels of care:
- There will be a LILA* team available 24/7 at the centre my child/children are attending
- There will be 24-hour support available to that team from LILA* Head office
- When my child/children are actively participating in lessons/sessions organized by LILA*, the LILA* team will be responsible for their safety and discipline
- Outside of these times, the LILA* team will support the Group Leader 24/7 in their role to supervise and be responsible for my child/children
Emergency Contact
I also agree to provide my booking agent with an emergency contact number of an adult responsible for my child/children which will be passed on to LILA*. I will ensure that this number is correct and I will explain the level of English of the person stated.
Supervision On Excursions
I am happy to know that on excursions, students are supervised by the LILA* team and their group leader/s. All excursions have an element of free time incorporated into the itinerary if the group leader agrees (if no free time is desired then LILA* team members will continue to supervise the group). Free time is age dependent as follows: under 10 years old – no unaccompanied free time, 11-14 – groups of 4 to 5 students are allowed free time but must return to the agreed meeting point every 30 to 45 minutes (this is city dependent e.g. in larger cities the time will be shorter) and if possible LILA* team members and group leaders will still accompany, 14-17 – groups of 3 to 4 students are allowed free time and must return to the agreed meeting point every hour to 90 minutes. On no account should students wander off alone. Students will have their wristband and lanyard and be aware of the meeting points.
Medical Consent
I understand and consent to the fact that in the event that my child/children are involved in a serious accident or become seriously unwell, LILA* will ensure that the relevant professional medical help is sought. The group leader will be informed and I will be contacted. In the event of the group leader not being available, a LILA* team member or host will take charge and take my child/children to hospital. All available details of the student will be given to the medical practitioners.
In the event of my child/children requiring urgent medical attention where consent must be given, the group leader will immediately contact me or the emergency contact given. If I cannot be reached, the group leader will, in conjunction with the agent, take any necessary decision. If the group leader cannot be found, a member of LILA* Senior Leadership team will confer with me and/or the booking agent to make a decision. If I cannot be reached and the booking agent cannot be reached, a member of LILA* Senior Leadership will confer with the group leader to make a decision. Where necessary I am happy to consent that LILA* Senior Leadership will make a decision.
Data Protection
In line with the new European legislation of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) which came into effect on 25th May 2018, LILA* will ensure that all data collected will be securely stored and only used to provide the products and services I have requested from them.
During the course LILA* may take photographs or videos of my child/children but these will only be used for marketing purposes where consent has been specifically given by me to the agent I booked through. Consent may be withdrawn at any time by emailing enquiries@lilalovetolearn.com, and LILA* will take reasonable steps to cease any future use of the child’s image.
