Will let your child go for excursion if the consent form has the following clause

[Yr1985]

"Parents will not hold the childcare centre or its staff responsible should any accidents happen."

[Melissa]

This is quite common in the consent form... so i guess in the end, parents are still willing to let their children go...

[Yr1985]

Is that right? Because my childcare centre only starts putting this clause last week, so quite concern...

[Nolicense]

actually in a court of law, they will ignore this clause, the party involved will have to excercise reasonable responsibility to prevent accidents. not wilful disregard of safety and what not.

 

but ultimately, accidents happen and if it can't be helped, the courts won't do anything. again money and lawyer can change black into white. so better your child take care himself responsibly.

 

the clause is really no pakey

[Melissa]

ohh childcare? then i will think twice... Cos i always see this clause on my bro pri n sec school consent form...

[Melissa]

i think must depend on the situation if any accident do occurs rite...

[Yr1985]

This just creates an impression that the childcare only concern is to get them out of trouble when things happen. The children are helpless, what are those people thinking?? Singapore Bay Run is it??

[Albeniz]

I think this is just a standard clause to protect the school.

 

I have good faith in the child care center here. Even if an accident should happen and the fault found to be due to negligence from the child care center, they still could not run away from the responsibility, legally-speaking.

 

A lot of parents will protest.

[Davidklt]

Pls la..these are in consent forms for the past 25 yrs at least.

I remember bringing these forms home, 25 years ago.

Dark brown paper..you tear off the lower part of it after parents signed right? hahaha

[Slowmo]

I wonder what those dark brown paper are called... they have a name... but forgot what its called.

[Albeniz]

We come from the same era!

Now the next question: who is older?

why so kiasi?

[Ahhuat]

"Parents will not hold the childcare centre or its staff responsible should any accidents happen."

 

standard lah.. mebbe they just forgot it the last time and someone reminded them....

 

or if not happy try to find one without the clause lor... good luck tho.. cos i dont think u can...

 

and as mentioned by others, legally, with or without, the same level of duty of care applies...

[Alpha78]

I think it's called the cyclostyle. The days before the copiers are low cost like now. Oops, I also revealed my age.

[Hiphiphoray]

Its ok lar. Just let the CC do thier job. Im sure they are well prepared for it.

 

My 3 year old have been to many excursions with NTUC CC liao. Zoo, Botanical Gardens, East Coast Park, Ice Place, Sembawang Park.

 

Me & wify took leave and secretly to observe them from far(kia-si parents..hahahah), so far they have been very well plan excursions. When they are Q-ing up the bus about to go home, then we'll pop out and fetch our girl home in our car.

 

We are the only parents from the CC to PI the excursions. Ma-chiam like MOE Auditors.
