As described in the Legal Briefing for Young People, we recommend that anyone under 16 who is coming to any of the Faslane 365 actions with someone other than their parents bring with them a letter authorising an adult who is coming to pick them up from the police station if they are arrested.
It would be a good idea to bring this letter just in case, even if the young person has no intention of risking arrest.
Below is a model letter you might wish to base your letter on. You can also download this as a PDF or as an editable RTF file. If you don't know how to view/edit these files see here for help.
