When a minor (under 18) is registered for a competition, their guardian must provide consent before the dancer can participate. The guardian receives a secure consent link via email.
How the Consent Flow Works
- A dancer under 18 is registered for an event (by a studio or independently)
- The system sends a consent request email to the guardian's registered email address
- The guardian clicks the link in the email
- The consent page displays:
- The dancer's name and age
- The guardian's contact details
- The event information
- Terms and conditions for participation
- The guardian reviews the terms and clicks "I Give My Consent"
- The dancer's registration is marked as consent-granted
What the Consent Covers
By giving consent, the guardian agrees to:
- Permission for the dancer to register and participate
- Acknowledgment of physical activity risks
- Confirmation the dancer is in good health
- Release of liability for injuries during the event
- Permission for photography and video recording
- Providing emergency contact information
Important Notes
- Consent links expire after 7 days. If expired, a new consent request must be sent
- Each consent link is unique to a specific dancer and event
- If a guardian does not wish to give consent, they can simply not complete the consent form
- If the guardian's email address is incorrect, contact the studio owner or event organiser to update it
