Welfare Form

TANDEM Madrid requires parents or guardians to complete this Welfare Form for the safety of all our students under 18. It is very important that we know about everything that might affect the health of our students, as well as other informations to be considered in the event of a problem.

Please submit this form just after you’ve completed the booking (either via Website or email), so we can organize any dieultimatary requirements or anything else which may have an effect on the student’s well-being at our school, such as previous illnesses or injuries.

Thank you in advance for your co-operation.

Young learner age range policy

TANDEM Madrid accepts students within the age range specified in our brochure and other promotional materials. The student should have reached the required age by the beginning of the course.

Consideration for Acceptance

Child Safeguarding is very important to TANDEM Madrid and acceptation of the TANDEM’S Child Safeguarding policy is required for all staff. All staff will be informed of students who do not fall within the age range and they will be placed in accommodation and classrooms which are suitable for their age range, if necessary. Students who are within the age range will be consulted regarding their stay at our schools.

All age sensitive activities will be monitored and we will provide an alternative when they’re considered unsuitable for their ages.

A disclaimer and an email will be sent to third party providers or to the legal guardian of direct students for them to sign and send back prior to the arrival of the student, stating that TANDEM Madrid reserves the right to accept students outside its published age range.

Students under the age of 12 will be supervised either by the student’s group leader or by an TANDEM Madrid member of staff during free time while on excursions.

Any students over 17 years of age are accepted on the basis that they adhere to all the rules and policies of the school and its providers. The student will be treated as if he or she is under 18.
