Marshal at Wyedean Stages Rally, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, Saturday 14th November 2026

I have read and understand the consent process requirements and agree to the named young person acting as a volunteer official on this event. Furthermore, where applicable, I agree that the above-named adult may act as temporary carer (as referred to in the Motorsport UK Under 18 Marshal Policies) for the duration of the event. If it becomes necessary for the above-named young person to receive medical treatment, and I cannot be contacted to authorise this, I hereby give my general consent to any necessary medical treatment and, where applicable, authorise the temporary carer to sign any document required by the hospital authorities.
The medical profession takes the view that the parent/guardian consent to medical treatment cannot be delegated. This is explicit in The Children’s Act 1989. Thus, medical consent forms have no legal status and a doctor or nurse insisting on the consent of a parent/guardian to a particular treatment has the right to do so. However, it can be a comfort to medical staff to have general consent in advance from parents/guardians or to have a temporary carer on hand able to sign forms required by medical authorities.
