For students in Year 7 and above, there may occasionally be an opportunity during a scheduled break to visit the local shop.
This involves students leaving the YTA premises for a short period without a member of YTA staff accompanying them and returning in time for their next class or session.
Please confirm whether you give permission for your child to do this if the opportunity arises.
Please indicate whether you give permission for photographs and videos of your child, taken during YTA activities, to be used in:
• Studio displays and promotional materials• Printed publications and marketing materials• Our website and social media channels• Local and national media
We will always use images responsibly and appropriately. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us in writing.
WhatsApp is our primary method of communication with parents and carers. You will be sent an invitation link to join the relevant WhatsApp group(s) for your child's class(es).
If your child has their own mobile phone, you are welcome to add them to the appropriate group where suitable. However, the parent or carer completing this registration remains the primary contact and is responsible for ensuring they receive and act upon all communications sent by YTA.
It is your responsibility to notify us if your contact details change or if you leave a WhatsApp group so that we can ensure you continue to receive important updates.
