IELTS Minor Candidate Acknowledgement and Consent Form

Important

The IELTS Partners aim to provide the safest possible environment for minors by identifying and
managing risks that may lead to harm during a minor’s IELTS journey on test day.

As part of these provisions, a completed IELTS Minor Candidate Acknowledgement and

Consent Form must be provided to the Test Centre on or before the test day. A minor cannot
complete test day check procedures without a signed copy of this form.

If this consent form is not provided on, or before the test day the minor test taker will not be
admitted to the test room. We recommend that you keep a copy for your own records.

A minor is defined as any IELTS test taker under the age of eighteen years, or older if the age of
adult majority is over eighteen under local legislation.

I AM THE PARENT/LEGAL GUARDIAN OF AN IELTS TEST APPLICANT WHO IS A MINOR AND I

ACKNOWLEDGE AND CONSENT TO THE FOLLOWING:

1. I understand that the test centre will assign a chaperone who will accompany the minor
in the speaking room during the IELTS speaking test. Only the chaperone and examiner
will be allowed access to the speaking room with the minor.

2. I understand the test centre will also assign a chaperone for all parts of the test where
the minor has pre-approved special requirements such as separate invigilation for the
listening, reading, and writing test.

3. I understand that if I as parent/legal guardian do not want the test taker to be

accompanied by a chaperone on test day, then I can make separate arrangements with
the test centre. This will only apply if:

• the test taker is at least 15 years of age by test date

• the parent/guardian (not the test taker) contacts the test centre in writing at least 7
calendar days before test date and attaches a completed and signed copy of
sections A and B of this consent form

4. I understand that the test centre’s duty of care regarding the minor ends when the minor
is returned to a responsible legal guardian after the test; or, if a responsible legal
guardian is absent, to the non-restricted and publicly accessible areas of the test venue.
