To make a permission slip, start by identifying the purpose of the permission slip, the event or activity that requires permission. Then figure out what information needs to be gathered on the form. Next, work with a lawyer to create a template that includes a header with the name of the organization, school, or church, the name of the event, the date, and the deadline for submitting the permission slip. Include a section for the parent or guardian to fill out their contact information, their child's name, and any medical or allergy information that may be relevant. Finally, include a section where the parent or guardian can sign and date the permission slip.

(Note that you can use a template as a starting place but we strongly suggest working with a lawyer to make sure that your permission slip will cover the needs of your business/organization.)

To create a permission slip for a field trip, follow the same steps as above, but make sure to include additional information such as the destination of the field trip, the date and time of departure and return, any costs involved, and the mode of transportation.

The purpose of a permission slip is to help protect your organization from being held liable for any incidents that might occur during the activity or event.

A permission slip should be signed by a parent or legal guardian of the child. The intent of a permission slip is to allow a parent or guardian to give consent for their child to participate in a specific activity or event.

Permission slips may be distributed to students in person or sent home with them, and may be collected in person or electronically using a digital platform like WaiverSign. The benefit of electronic permission slips is that you no longer have to rely on a student to take a form home, have their parent or guardian sign it, and then bring it back to school. Using WaiverSign, you can send the permission slip digitally to the parent or guardian and send reminders so that the permission slip gets signed on time.

The requirements for permission slips may vary depending on the state, district, or organization. It's important to research any relevant legal requirements or regulations before creating and collecting permission slips. We strongly recommend working with a lawyer to create your permission slip, so that the language is tailored specifically to the needs of your organization. Using a template without working with a lawyer, could leave your organization unprotected if an incident were to occur.
