Section Parent or Carer Consent

Getting parental consent has a significant impact on our ability to respond, particularly if we would like to be able to offer the family Early Help;
- As a referrer working with the child or family, it is your responsibility to speak with the Parent/s or Carer/s about your concerns.
- Specifically we need you to seek consent from parents or carers when making a referral (where this does not put the child at risk of harm).
- If you are unable to obtain consent you must explain why this is not possible.

A) I have spoken to the child's parents or carers to discuss my concerns and they are aware that I am making a referral but have not given their consent
B) I have spoken to the child's parents or carers and they have given me consent to make this referral
C) I have not spoken to the child's parent or carers and I have provided an explanation below as to why this has not been possible
