EF International Language Campuses - UK/Ire Liability Waiver Form & Guardian Consent For Students Aged 16 and 17 On An Adult Course
EF International Language Campuses - UK/Ire Liability Waiver Form & Guardian Consent For Students Aged 16 and 17 On An Adult Course
EF International Language Campuses provide language training. The courses are designed
for students aged 16 years or older who generally enrol on an individual basis. Students
usually travel independently from their home country, with optional EF transfers from the
airport to chosen accommodation; students who travel independently must carry a signed
letter UK entry permission - to allow them to pass through immigration. We recommend
EF transfers be booked for all 16 and 17 year olds.
Once in the course town students will travel independently to and from school, living in
homestay or student residence accommodation selected and arranged by EF staff.
Students will also travel unsupervised to and from social events, which may mean travelling
on public transport between the hours of 22.00 and midnight.
In homestay half board is included during the week and all meals are provided during the
weekend; lunches during the week may be purchased from the school cafeteria. In
residential accommodation the meal plan varies according to the residence booked, please
double-check the EF publicity material for full details or discuss with the sales office. Many
residences are self-catering and EF recommends that you choose at least the half board
option, wherever possible in residence, for your child. If you do not choose this option, you
understand that your child will need to cater for themselves, which means buying all food
and drink essentials, and independently cooking and cleaning up. Full board options are
also available for this age group if required, so should you wish to make this arrangement
please let the EF sales office know.
To help ensure the safety and well-being of our customers EF requests all students to
carefully read and follow the regulations set out in the document termed Student Code of
Conduct. This can be found at MyEF, our online campus. Students will receive the URL,
username and password after booking a course. For more detailed information about your
destination and chosen language destination, please read the information provided on
MyEF and in the Pre-Departure document provided by your sales office prior to departure.
On arrival at school we take photographs of students to help staff easily identify them and
in order to produce their EF student cards. It is also sometimes necessary to provide
photographs for external examinations. Occasionally we put photographs of students
enjoying EF activities on our social media pages. By signing this document, you are
agreeing to allow EF staff to take and use such photographs of your son/daughter.
I authorise school staff and affiliates to consent to X-ray examination, anesthetic, medical
or surgical diagnosis or treatment and hospital care which is deemed advisable by, and is
to be rendered under the general, or special supervision of, any fully licensed physician
and surgeon, whether such diagnosis or treatment is rendered at the office of a physician
or hospital.
