Permission to travel.

'''Overnight travel authorisation'''

Student needs written travel authorisation from parents to spend the night away from the family or residence. This document is uploaded into Elektra and a log file note will have been made, the host family will have been informed.

If a student calls asking for permission for the same night/weekend, tell them that it is too late for this weekend and that they must adhere to the under 18 rules but you can help them for the following weekend if they are unsure how to get it, once they are back in school. ''If the student tells you that they are going anyway, without permission, do take details of where they are staying, a contact number and when they will be back.''

If a family calls asking for confirmation, check Elektra and the folder to confirm. If there is not a waiver then remind the family of the under 18’s rules for their student including calling you if they do not return for their curfew.
