Responding to information and assessment requests from external providers

There may be times when you are engaged with a Specialist who requests valuable information from your child’s teacher. The process for the request is:

1. Provide written consent to the teacher using BCE’s consent form
2. Teacher will inform the Principal and Guidance Counsellor and explain to parents/guardians it may take two weeks before completing the form
3. The teacher will complete the form with the assistance of the Guidance Counsellor
4. The completed form will be returned to the Guidance Counsellor who will store a copy of in the Guidance Counsellor’s secure database
5. Guidance Counsellor will forward the completed form directly to the Specialist. A copy will not be provided to parents as this is information for the provider to discuss with parents

Please note we are guided by Brisbane Catholic Education advice that online questionnaires are not permitted to be completed and paperwork is sent directly back to the external provider who requested the information.
