Permission Forms

All events require parent/guardian permission in the form of a signed permission form. This form does require a legal signature. Most UUA programs use SignNow for this purpose. Contact the Youth Safety Team for assistance and a model permission form which can be tailored for any UUA sponsored on line event.

Congregational Approval for Youth

The policies on congregational or covenanting community approval still apply. This can be done through email, online sign off, phone call, or letter of recommendation.

Adult Attendees and Staff

Adults attending an online event as participants or in leadership positions require the same approval process as for adults attending in person youth events. These requirements include signing the UUA’s Adult Code of Conduct for all adults and Code of Ethics for Youth and Adult Leaders if staff or in leadership; being over 25; a criminal background check; and a reference check with an adult’s local congregation
