BRUNEI: Departing Brunei and require a nursery place in the UK?

 

If you are leaving Brunei and require a child's Nursery place on arrival in the UK, please ensure you remember to take the Child's Birth Certificate with you in your hand luggage NOT your sea freight.

Nurseries cannot register children without a birth certificate. 

If the child is not registered, the Nursery cannot receive the correct funding from Kent County Council and you will not secure a place. 

Add this to your moving checklist!

Brunei: PCMF - Medical Consent Form for Minors

THIS medical consent form for children and young people under the age of 18 years old is available for parents to complete.

Completion of this form is recommended if both parents are overseas, if there is only one parent caring for their child/children or when the child is being cared for by a nominated person who is not their parent.

For any medical encounters in the PCMF in the absence of a parent, the PCMF will attempt to contact the parents, but if this is not possible, this form provides supporting evidence of medical consent.

This consent form should be taken with the child to the PCMF or hospital when the child is taken for treatment.
