Do I need to write up a form to give to school children's teachers so that we can share information, Possibly confidential, thinking of data protection act. I've been looking around for some sort of sample, can anyone help please.

It is the parents you need permission from, not the school really.
For playgroups, I write a letter on behalf of the parents (to save them the trouble) basically saying ' I/We give my CM .....(name) and the school .... (school name) permission to share information about ....(child) blah blah ' then I sign it, ask parents to sign it and give to school. Ask school to sign it (as confirmation of receipt) and give 1 copy to each party. Add any other agencies who are involved if relevant (HV, SaLT etc).
