So DC needs parental permission to skip leave school. The back of their planner has a section to put in the reason and date/times they intend to leave, then signed by the parent. These are supposed to be removed from the planet and kept as a record of them attending an appointment.
However - there is no master copy of thenparents signature to compare.
Also they won't accept emails or telephone calls from parents to 'pre book' dates/times of absents.
In the morning there is a truemcy call if they haven't arrived, but the rest of the day they could skip without any notification to parents. Just by having a 'signed' escape slip.
It seems like madness - what would happen if they skipped school without consent and had an accident?
