In general, most parents say they have concerns and those are usually adequately addressed after the parents have a discussion with the director.  You may see written on the application: "WE ARE NOT OPPOSED TO OUR SON/DAUGHTER PARTICIPATING, BUT WE HAVE THE FOLLOWING RESERVATIONS THAT WE SIMPLY WANT TO MAKE RELIANT AWARE OF"....... and that usually follows with a question or concern from the parent. Reliant will then send an email to the director to ask that the director follow up with the parent to discuss and seek to resolve the reservations/concerns.

titleParent/Guardian Notification Form

Parent/Guardian Notification Form

  • If the participant is under 18 a parental notification form is required. The parents will also have to fill out and sign both the medical disclosure and the liability waiver. 
  • If the student is over 18, but under 21 and still financially dependent on their parents/guardians the parental notification form and packet will be sent to their parents/guardians.  
  • If the participant is over 21 they do not need a parental notification form and no email will be sent to the parents.  You will see it say this on their application: PARENTAL NOTIFICATION FORM NOT NEEDED-OVER 21.
  • Also, if the participant answers the questions on their application as YES to over 18, NO to parents claiming on taxes and NO to parents financially support me they are considered completely financially independent from their parents and they will not need a parental notification form and no email is sent to their parents.  You will see it say this on their application: PARENTAL NOTIFICATION FORM NOT NEEDED- FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT.


Info
Why do we do the parent/guardian notification form? We have set up the 21 age not for legal reasons, but as a goodwill gesture towards the parents.  We want to make sure that at this time in their life where they can still be dependent on parents for schooling, etc. that we have received the parents blessing for them to spend their summer at our training. We want to make sure that the parents are supportive and behind the decision and not surprised when the student informs their parents where they are headed for the summer.  We just wanted to make sure the parents have been informed and are ok with the decision.  We picked 21 as age because they are mostly still in school until then and still under the support of the parent.  There is a place on the application for the student to say they are no longer supported in any way financially by the parent and if they choose that then the parent is not contacted for consent and their consent is not needed to complete the application.

Info

We have had a few national reviews where we uncover that they have struggled with suicidal concerns prior to 6 months ago. As a formality we said that all of those still needed a national review before moving forward. The heart behind that was related to how severe the past self-harm struggle was, how close to 6 months ago it occurred, do they still have suicidal thoughts, etc. and to show that we did our due diligence by having multiple eyes on it before acceptance.

However, if Collegiate reviewer finds out that there is no current self-harm thoughts and a normal acceptance is recommended we do not need to present this concern to the National Reviewers. This would be only for those that Collegiate Reviews recommend as normal acceptance (no conditions at all for acceptance) because the self-harm (thoughts or actions) is no longer happening. If self-harm is still somewhat in the picture and they are recommending conditions it would still come to national review for more eyes to view the situation.
