Checking consent for excursions

Community Portal: Excursions

The excursion tab of the Community Portal can be used by parents to view their child's excursions. After an excursion has been set up in SynWeb and published to the portal, parents and guardians can log in to confirm the status of their child's attendance. This may include updating personal and medical details and making payment for tickets as well as giving overall consent for the excursion.

The Consents tab is used to view and maintain consent information for attendees including:

• consent to attend the excursion

• excursion-specific consents

• general consents.
