PARENTAL CONCERNS
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 also 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 wanted the parents to 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.

In the scenario of parental concerns, Reliant will ask the local pastor or director to follow up with parent and probably follow up with the applicant to help relieve concerns.

The only case that Reliant would say absolutely NO to accepting an applicant, is in cases such as where the parent has clearly stated that in no way they want their son/daughter to attend LT. It would say on the application "WE HAVE PERSONALLY ADVISED OUR SON/DAUGHTER NOT TO PARTICIPATE FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS". and an example of a reason would be... "I have read that this location has a high crime rate and as her mom, I am NOT OK with this." In the case of a parent saying no way they absolutely can not go, then Reliant cannot accept them due to insurance liability reasons. In the scenario of parental concerns, Reliant will ask the local pastor or director to follow up with parent and probably follow up with the applicant to help relieve concerns. Emails and documentation will be needed to confirm that parents are willing to move forward with their child’s participation in the program. If the parent has clearly written “No, my child may not attend”, Reliant and the church/network must respect the desires of the parent and will unfortunately not be able to accept the applicant into the program due to insurance and liability reasons. 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. |
