About this template
"It's in the handbook" only helps if you can show a family confirmed they read it. Rather than one vague box, this form itemises the policies that generate the most misunderstandings — late collection, illness exclusion, fees on closure days, behaviour support — and takes a separate confirmation for each before the signature.
What this form asks
Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.
