Part A – Contingency Measures

1. In case of injury/illness, I give permission for a trained first-aider (where available) to administer first aid to my son/daughter as the first-aider considers necessary in the best interests of my child.

2. In an emergency, if I cannot be contacted, despite all reasonable attempts to do so by the leaders, I give permission for my son/daughter to undergo any medical/dental treatment, including the use of anaesthetics and blood transfusions, as considered necessary by the medical authorities. I acknowledge that any medical costs are my responsibility to settle.

3. I expect my son/daughter to behave in a manner that will not cause concern to leaders, that even though they will give the utmost priority to the safety of the young people in their care, they cannot be held liable for behaviour that leads to accident, injury, or increased health risks to others. I understand that if my son/daughter misbehaves, the organisers may forbid them from further participation and require me to collect them at my expense. If they cause deliberate damage to property, I agree to pay for the cost of replacement.

Part B – Other Necessary Declarations

5. I understand the nature of the activities and associated risks and that the programme will include a Christian message. I give consent for my son/daughter named on this form to attend the event and fully participate, including any off-site excursions, except for any elements of the programme which I have listed above. I am aware that I can opt my child out of attending any aspect of our programme at any point, by contacting Rachel Henry.

6. I confirm that I am the parent/guardian of the Young Person(s) named on this form and therefore have full legal authority to make these Declarations.

7. I understand that, whether or not I personally accompany them, I am solely responsible for ensuring my son/daughter travels to and from each event, activity and meetup safely and on time, and in accordance with any transport expectations that are communicated by the leaders. The only exception is where prior arrangements have been made with me by leaders to pick up/drop off my child.

8. If my young person wishes to leave an activity early, the leaders will make every effort to contact me to seek permission, and if I cannot be reached, my young person will be encouraged to stay. I understand that leaders cannot prevent a young person from leaving early; if my young person is intent on leaving early, whether or not I am able to be reached, I would resume responsibility for them the moment they leave the event.

9. I understand that it is my responsibility to notify Rachel Henry if any details on this form change (e.g. if my young person develops a new allergy or medical condition).
