You don't need permission for the assessor to come in - but you do need permission if you want to use photos or other documentation as part of your course.

Hth :D

When I did my diploma I had a little piece of paper to show parents which they signed saying they acknowledged I was doing my diploma and that they were happy for their child to be watched by assessor while I was being assessed but would not be named or photographed x

You don't need to have parental permission, although I did make all of mine aware, and reminded those whose children were in my care when the assessor came. I wasn't allowed to discuss any specific children or submit work with photos of children on which got around the permission issue anyway.

Good luck.

Thanks. I will write a letter to the parents informing them of my course. Thank you x
