Katherine Ryan sent waiver before daughter's party and hires firm to search bags

Katherine Ryan has revealed she sent the parents of her daughter's pals a waiver form to sign ahead of the teen's Halloween party.

The comedian, 40, is going to be at home when Violet, 14, has her friends over, but still insisted on making the teenagers' families sign a 'good behaviour' form ahead of the festivities. Explaining she has also hired a security firm to do bag and body searches, Katherine said she wrote up the waiver because of modern age 'liabilities' and to protect her property and the children.

Taking to Instagram, she said: "I prepared a document. I just think in this day and age, with liabilities and having all these kids in my house, I want to send a really clear message to them, when they're 14, what the expectations are in my house.

"And also, I think it's a good message to the parents to know that if I expect this form signed by a parent with the parent's phone number, then they know that I'm not the kind of mum that allows drinking or vaping or anything else. Those parents are going to go 'oh, if this mum's making me sign this, I feel safe sending my kid there'."

Reading the form she's sent for Violet's forthcoming Halloween party, Katherine said it stated: "Permission waiver. The children are very welcome in our home/garden/pool and we do want them to enjoy themselves and be able to gather in a safe environment for a party. However....my husband and I feel that it's necessary to collect signed permission waivers from all parents of children attending any party in our home.

"This acknowledges that we will not tolerate any illegal behaviour. At 14 and 15 years old, illegal behaviour includes drinking alcohol, vaping, any sexual activity, assault, vandalism. Anyone found to be participating in any illegal behaviour will be asked to leave and parents called. By signing this waiver you acknowledge responsibility for your child in our home and further acknowledge that you have spoken to them about having bag searches and guest list checks at the door." Adding she has hired a private security firm for "piece of mind", Katherine ended the waiver with: "If any time your child feels unsafe please encourage them to find me in the house, or approach someone from the security team."

Conceding the waiver 'felt like a lot', the Canadian concluded she wanted to be clear about her 'expectations" for the party 'incase' Violet had any more in the future.
