# Consents and statements

> Image, health, self-return and pickup authorizations.

Four statements that used to be collected on paper: image consent, health
information, walking home alone, and the list of people authorized to
collect your child. Each has its own page, but the same rules govern all
of them — worth learning once.

## Rules that apply to all four

| Rule                                                      | What follows from it                                                                                                                                         |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **They cover one school year**                            | You file them again in September. Nothing carries over from last year automatically.                                                                         |
| **They attach to a student, not to a child on your list** | Before you enrol a child in a class you'll see "You have no enrolled children yet". An **active class enrolment** is required — it may still be **Pending**. |
| **Any guardian can file them**                            | Not only whoever filled them in first. The other parent can change and withdraw them.                                                                        |
| **There is no "are you sure?" step**                      | Every withdrawal button acts immediately, in one click — deliberately as easy as giving.                                                                     |
| **There is no choice of days or dates**                   | All four cover the whole school year uniformly. You cannot file a statement "for Fridays only" or "for one day".                                             |

<Note>
  A missing statement is **never a recorded refusal**. A blank means "nothing
  is known", not "the parent said no" — and that is how the school sees it
  too.
</Note>

## Image consent

Go to **Image publication consent**. This is the only one of the four that
is a **genuine consent** — it has a "given" state and a "withdrawn" state,
and you can move between them at any time.

> State whether you agree to your child's image being published in *(school
> year)*. You can withdraw at any time — exactly as easily as you give it.

The consent is **not blanket** — you name the places it covers, and it
covers only the ones you tick:

* **School website**
* **School social media**
* **Printed materials (newsletter, yearbook)**

At least one is required: "Select at least one publication place — a
consent naming none says nothing."

You send it with **Send consent** ("Consent sent to the teacher."), change
its scope with **Save changes**, and withdraw it with **Withdraw consent** —
at which point the app says plainly: "Consent withdrawn. The teacher now
sees no consent."

Your child shows one of three sentences, and the third case is separate on
purpose:

| State                                               | What the teacher sees                                              |
| --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| "Current position for *(year)*: consent given."     | Consent for the ticked places.                                     |
| "Current position for *(year)*: consent withdrawn." | No consent.                                                        |
| "No statement has been sent yet for *(year)*."      | That nothing is known — which is **not** the same as a withdrawal. |

<Note>
  Image consent is the only one of the four with a **history**. Under
  **Statement history** you can see each of your earlier positions with its
  date — "*(date)* — consent given", "*(date)* — consent withdrawn". Nothing
  disappears from it: giving and withdrawing **append** a new entry rather
  than overwriting the previous one.
</Note>

<Warning>
  Zebrania does not publish photos. The app says so outright: "Zebrania does
  not publish photos and is not a party to this consent — we only relay your
  position. The school is responsible for the lawfulness of any
  publication." Withdrawing therefore reaches the homeroom teacher, but does
  **not remove photos already published** — ask the school about those
  directly.
</Warning>

## Health statement

Go to **Health statement**. This is the most sensitive place in the whole
product, and it is built the most tightly of the four.

> Tell the homeroom teacher what they need to know to keep your child safe
> in *(school year)* — allergies, medication, diet. You can change or
> withdraw this at any time.

There are exactly **three fields** and nothing else:

| Field          | In-app hint                                                     |
| -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Allergies**  | "What your child is allergic to, and what to do if they react." |
| **Medication** | "Medication taken at school or given when needed."              |
| **Diet**       | "A diet required for health reasons."                           |

<Warning>
  This is **not a general notes field about your child**. Only health facts
  belong here — the three above. There is no room for an "in case of
  emergency" phone number either: the emergency-contact field was
  deliberately removed from this form, because it duplicated
  [contact details](/en/parent/children-and-details#contact-details) and put
  a third party's number inside the narrowest set of data in the product.
  Who to call follows from the contact details, not from this statement.
</Warning>

Filling in one field is enough; an entirely empty form is rejected: "A
statement has to say something. Fill in at least one field, or withdraw
it." If a description runs very long you'll see "This field is too long.
Shorten it to what matters most."

You save with **Save statement** ("Statement saved."). Each save
**replaces** the previous one in full — including fields you deliberately
cleared, so deleting a sentence from the form really does delete it.

You withdraw with **Withdraw statement**:

<Warning>
  Withdrawing deletes the data irreversibly. The app says so twice —
  "Withdrawing deletes the statement for good — nothing is kept." before you
  click, and "Statement withdrawn. The data has been deleted." after. There
  is no history and no copy: if you want to keep the text, copy it yourself
  before withdrawing.
</Warning>

**Who sees it:** "Only you and your child's homeroom teacher can see this
statement. Other parents and teachers of other classes cannot." The list
on the school's side holds **only children something was filed for** — a
child with no statement has no row there, so a blank cannot be misread as
"healthy, no allergies".

<Note>
  Your statement is enough. The app makes a point of it: "Your statement is
  enough — a school may not demand a doctor's certificate." There is no way
  to attach a file here, and none is needed.
</Note>

The statement covers one year: "A statement covers the named school year
only. It has to be given again in September." Before you file anything,
your child shows "No statement filed for *(year)* yet. The teacher has no
health information about this child."

## Walking home alone

Go to **Walking home alone**. Here you make a single statement, taking
responsibility on yourself:

> I declare that my child may walk home from school on their own and may
> leave school unaccompanied after lessons end in the school year given. I
> take responsibility for my child's safety on the way home from school.

**Any guardian** linked to the child can make it, with the **Make the
declaration** button ("Declaration saved."). It covers the **whole school
year** — there is no picking weekdays or individual dates.

Once it exists, your child shows "Declared for *(year)*. You can make it
again if you want to refresh it.", and the button becomes **Declare
again**. Declaring again does **not create a second declaration** — it
refreshes the one you have.

<Warning>
  **This declaration cannot be withdrawn in the app.** There is no withdrawal
  button, and that is not an oversight: there is no stored "no" either. What
  matters is the presence of the declaration — a child with none on file for
  the year is released **only to an adult**, and that is the default, safe
  behaviour.

  In practice: if you change your mind mid-year, **tell the homeroom teacher
  directly**. Simply not clicking anything changes nothing — a declaration
  made for this year stays visible to the school until the school year ends.
</Warning>

If that worries you, notice which way the asymmetry runs: a blank works in
favour of safety. Until you state otherwise, the school will not release
your child to themselves.

## Pickup authorizations

Go to **Pickup authorizations**. Here you name adults other than the
guardians who may collect your child from school.

> Name the people who may collect your child from school in *(school
> year)*. You can remove anyone at any time.

You add someone with **Add person** ("Person added to the list."). Only a
**first name** is required; the rest is optional, and the app says what
each field is for:

| Field                              | Required | What for                                                                                                                       |
| ---------------------------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Authorized person's first name** | Yes      | Without it there is nobody to put on the list.                                                                                 |
| **Authorized person's last name**  | No       | Makes identification easier when the child is handed over.                                                                     |
| **Document number (optional)**     | No       | "A PESEL or ID card number, only if your school asks for one. Not required. The homeroom teacher sees it on the printed list." |
| **Phone number (optional)**        | No       | "Lets the homeroom teacher reach this person. The teacher sees the number in full."                                            |

If a document number is malformed you'll see "Invalid document number.
Enter a PESEL or an ID card number without special characters." The same
person added twice will not be duplicated — you'll get "This person is
already on the list for this school year."

You remove an authorization with **Remove** ("Person removed from the
list.").

<Warning>
  Removal **erases the entry completely** — no trace is left and no
  "authorization revoked" annotation. This is deliberate: a third party's
  data should not be kept longer than it is needed. From that moment the
  school sees the list without that person.
</Warning>

Until you name anybody you'll see "Nobody named for *(year)* yet. The child
will only be released to their guardians." — so an empty list does not
stop you collecting your own child.

<Warning>
  **Tell the person you are naming.** Zebrania never contacts them: "Zebrania
  never contacts the person you authorize — telling them that you are
  sharing their details with the teacher is your responsibility." You are
  entering somebody else's name, and sometimes their document and phone
  number — they ought to know about it.
</Warning>

The document number is protected more tightly than the rest: on screen the
homeroom teacher sees it **masked**, and it appears in full only on the
**printed** list — where it is needed as the child is handed over.

Authorizations expire with the year too: "Authorizations apply to the named
school year only. They have to be given again each September."

## Withdrawal — four different answers

Withdrawal looks different in each of the four cases, so it is worth having
in one place:

| Statement              | How to withdraw                                               | What remains                                                                         |
| ---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Image**              | **Withdraw consent** — the state becomes "consent withdrawn". | An entry in **Statement history** with its date. Earlier positions do not disappear. |
| **Health**             | **Withdraw statement** — the data is deleted.                 | Nothing. No trace and no copy.                                                       |
| **Walking home alone** | **Not possible in the app.** Tell the homeroom teacher.       | The declaration for this year stays visible to the school.                           |
| **Pickup**             | **Remove** next to the person.                                | Nothing. The entry disappears without an annotation.                                 |

In none of these cases is there an "are you sure?" prompt — the click acts
immediately.

## Who sees all of this

All four statements reach the **homeroom teacher of your child's class**
and — except for the health statement — the people who run the school's
affairs. Other parents and teachers of other classes do not see them.

The school reads them when somebody opens the class list — it **does not
get a notification** at the moment you file, change or withdraw something.
If a change is urgent (you are withdrawing a pickup authorization for
today, say), phone or write to the school rather than relying on somebody
looking at the system.

What exactly is visible on the school's side, and what deliberately is
not, is covered by
[Class views and printouts](/en/teacher/class-views-and-printouts) and
[Privacy](/en/privacy).
