Permission slips for children are used by schools, day camps, etcetera to ensure that the parents or guardian of the child know where the child is going to be on a particular day. Permission slips are usually required before a child can go on a school field trip. Permission slips are sometimes accompanied by disclaimers of legal liability in the event that the child gets injured, which the
. parent or guardian must also sign. For instance, a permission slip for a child to go on a field trip with his or her day camp to an amusement or water park might be accompanied by such a disclaimer of legal liability. Some schools also require that a child bring in a permission slip if the child will be taking a different school bus (for instance, to a friend's house) or getting off at a different stop. A child will might also need a permission slip to be picked up from school early or be picked up by someone other than the parent or guardian. You can search online for sample permission slips.
