This document provides guidance on the issue of consent for both school dental inspections and dental surveys.
Guidance was issued by the former NHS Management Executive in May 1992 which implied that it is acceptable to rely on negative consent for dental surveys. We are aware that PCTs are relying on this previous guidance to support the use of negative consent. This guidance should no longer be followed.
