Frequently Asked Questions – Liability

Q - When asking parents/caregivers to assist with transport on school trips, are schools required to ask for licence and Warrant of Fitness details?

A - No, but it may be good practice, depending on the circumstances. This is a decision for each school board of trustees. The Ministry of Education publication “Safety and Education outside the classroom – A good practice guide for New Zealand schools” recommends that schools do sight such documents.
