Church Insurance Requirements

Churches should check their public liability insurance to see if first aid training is required. Many policies refer to ‘best practice,’ often based on guidance from organisations like The Churches Child Protection Advisory Service (CCPAS). Their guidelines recommend having trained first aiders at any event involving children.

Parental Consent for Under-16s

If a church activity involves children under 16 without their parents present, parental consent is usually required. A signed consent form should be obtained for each child attending.
