Youth Confidential Release Form
The standard release & consent form used for both parish and diocesan events has been updated and simplified.

• You can open the attached Word document below and make the appropriate changes in it to suit your parish events after downloading it to your computer.

• Please keep in mind that if you plan ahead, you can cover several events at the same time on one form. 

• Please be sure to keep these forms on file and to always have them present with you during programs and events. 

• You might want to remove sections that are not relevant to your event, such as t-shirt sizes. 

• These new forms include a space for parents to disallow their children’s photographs/video to be used for promotional purposes. Please follow diocesan child protection policies with use of children’s pictures (especially on the internet). These policies can be found at:  http://www.eriercd.org/pdf/guidelinespix.pdf. Forms for promotional use of children’s pictures can be found at: http://www.eriercd.org/pdf/pixauthorize.pdf. If you use pictures for promotional purposes, please keep release forms for these children on file indefinitely.
