Who this template is for
Field Trip Permission Slip is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.
- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in childcare & family.
- Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
- Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 22 questions across 4 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 14 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It allows multiple selections without free text.
- Conditional logic hides 3 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 4 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 3 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Do you give permission for your child to attend?” is No, the form dynamically exposes “Reason (optional)”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Any medical needs relevant to this trip?” is Yes, “Medical details and medication for the day” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Any travel sickness or seating needs?” is Yes, “Please describe” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 3 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form
How do we chase missing slips?

Can we take the trip payment?
Yes — add a products field with the trip cost and payment is collected as the slip is signed.
Can one slip cover siblings?
Submit once per child so each consent and medical record is separate, which is what a trip leader needs on the day.
Does declining still count as a response?
Yes — an explicit No is recorded, so silence and refusal are never confused.
