Guest Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 (edited) Hi there, oh boy, I've got an extension on TMA1 - E124, but . . . I've done it all and I'm not sure if I need to send in with the TMA the parental agreement form to say I can observe the child (even though they are called child1 throughout). ANY help warmly welcomed-I'm ready to post it all, just need to know if I keep it in my evidence folder or send it in. Will update you all soon as to what's happened with my committee etc, good news ! Cirhossa1 x Edited December 19, 2008 by Guest
AnonyMouse_1999 Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 It's five years since I did E124 but I would say 'no' to sending in the parental permission form. My reason for saying no is that you would need to anonymise the form so that the child/parent were not identified and that kind of defeats the object. I think acknowledging that you gained written parental permission should be enough as it illustrates your understanding of the importance of permission/confidentiality. However, things may have changed since I did the course and I know there are people on the forum who have studied the course more recently and may therefore be in a better position to advise you. If you need a quick answer and want to be absolutely sure maybe ask on the OU forum or email your tutor?? Good luck and well done for getting it finished
Guest Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Brill, thank you - I was thinking the same about anonymising (is that a word-you know what I mean though :-) the form and adhering to confidentiality. Its going in the post . . phew! Thanks again and MERRY CHRISTMAS ho, ho ho
AnonyMouse_8623 Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Geraldine's correct. You don't send the agreement form with your TMA. Best of luck with it Cirhossa1.

Just say in your assignment you have written permission from the parents to carry out observations on Child 1. I have done E123 and E124. Regards Childminding Network Co-ordinator
