Further Information
The Legal Risk Score of a Child Travel Consent (Long Form) Template
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- There is a risk associated with the completeness of the medical information provided, as the document only allows for the listing of known special medical needs and allergies, which may not be comprehensive enough in an emergency situation.
- The document depends heavily on the accuracy of the declarant's knowledge regarding legal restrictions on the child's travel, such as court orders or international abduction laws, which if incorrect, could lead to legal complications.
- The reliance on a nominated party for the child's travel could pose a risk if the relationship or responsibility of the nominated party is not clearly defined or understood, potentially leading to issues in the care and safety of the child during travel.
