If you're like most parents, you often use babysitters or other caregivers – like grandparents and friends – to watch your kids. It may be for a date night or simply to go on a short vacation without them. But what happens if they get hurt or seriously ill while you're away?
Most parents aren't aware of the fact that medical facilities will not see and treat your child without parental consent. The liability for these facilities is too high for them treat your child, unless it's a life threatening situation. That's why it's important to always use a consent and contact form anytime you leave your child with a caregiver. That inlcludes when you use a babysitter and may be gone for only a few hours.
InstantAmber has put together a simple Consent and Contact Form that you can download and print. We encourage you to use this form whenever necessary.
