Medical information form

When available, the parental medical consent form will appear here

Note: The medical profession takes the view that parent’s consent to medical treatment cannot be delegated. This view is explicit in the child Act 1989 (UK). Thus medical consent forms have no legal status and a doctor / nurse insisting on the consent of a parent to particular treatment has the right to do so. For this reason we do not recommend that Leaders insist on parents signing the statements above. However it can be a comfort to medical staff to have general consent in advance from parents or to have a Leader on hand able to sign forms required by medical authorities.

 

All activities will be run in accordance with The Scout Associations safety rules. No responsibility for personal equipment / clothing and effects can be accepted by the camp organisers or the Scout Group. The Scout Association does not provide automatic insurance cover is respect of such items.
