5. Your Responsibilities

5.1 Participation in activities requires individuals to be in good health and have a reasonable basic level of fitness and a willingness to take part. 

5.2 You will be required to complete and return to us the appropriate Pastoral Care forms contained in your Welcome Pack which will be sent out to you once your booking has been confirmed. Completed Pastoral Care forms must be received by us BEFORE we can accept your child at camp. We reserve the right to exclude any child arriving at camp where completed Pastoral Care forms have not been received by us prior to their arrival at Camp. 

5.3 Children will be required to ensure that their behaviour is compatible with the orderly conduct of activities and that minimal disturbance to other visitors is caused and children are required at all times to follow the verbal and/or written instructions of our staff and comply with the Travel Rules. 

5.4 You and your child must at all times take such precautions as will be reasonably required by us to prevent or restrict the spread of infectious or contagious diseases e.g., chicken pox, gastro enteritis. In particular (and without limitation) you are required to advise us if your child has suffered from or been in contact with other persons or animals suffering from infectious or contagious diseases representing any threat to human health within the period of 4 weeks prior to the arrival date at Camp in which case we shall be entitled to cancel the booking of the child and the appropriate cancellation charges (calculated on a pro-rata basis where appropriate) will apply but may be reclaimable under the Travel Insurance if selected by you (terms and conditions apply – see policy for details). Failure to provide such information that results in additional care to your child (and or other children where a communicable disease) will incur additional charges as deemed appropriate and reasonable for the care required. 

5.5 We reserve the right to decline to accept or to cancel any booking or exclude any child at any time prior to the arrival date or between the arrival date and the departure date, if in our reasonable opinion the behaviour of that child is or may be disruptive, dangerous, inappropriate or incompatible with the general enjoyment of other visitors. This may include when a child presents with a special educational requirement which was not disclosed prior to arrival. If we exclude a child , the parent will not be entitled to a refund for any unused portion of the holiday. Behaviour deemed inappropriate may include but is not limited to:

• Theft, vandalism or illegal activities; 

• Inappropriate behaviour; 

• Failure to comply with the Travel Rules;

You must arrange for your child to be collected as soon as reasonably possible from when we contacted you. Any additional costs so incurred shall be entirely your responsibility and you shall reimburse any costs reasonably incurred by us in connection with the exclusion of your child (to include costs of arranging alternative care and/ or transportation). A refusal to collect your child at the camps request will result in a notification to the Head of Safeguarding who will follow the safeguarding procedures. 

5.6 It is your responsibility to inform us at the time of booking or as soon as You become aware of any actual or anticipated disabilities, social or behavioural problems or circumstances (including details of past experiences) affecting your child where such problems or circumstances may affect your child’s stay (including the provision of any transportation services), the stay of other visitors and the ability of our staff to support your child appropriately. This may include but is not limited to mobility or medical problems, diagnosed conditions such as ADHD or Asperger’s Syndrome, past difficulties experienced such as being excluded from school or extended periods being cared for away from parents. If we believe that we need to make reasonable adjustments to our usual programme or pastoral care or transportation arrangements of a child we will carefully consider matters with reference to social compatibility, physical access, successful participation and health and safety. All information provided will be treated sensitively and confidentially. We are committed to making our holidays accessible to as many guests as possible but very occasionally we may not be able to provide the service required. Where such information is provided to us promptly and as required under these conditions and we cancel any booking made you will be entitled to a full refund of any deposit or part of the price relating to the affected part of the booking as the case may be. 

5.7 If a child has an Educational Health Care Plan (EHC), you must notify us at the point of booking. The plan will need to be disclosed to us 14 days before a child’s stay. We reserve the right to cancel a booking if we cannot successfully meet the needs of the child. The health, safety and welfare is of paramount important. If under this section (5.7) that we have to cancel a booking we will provide a full refund. 

5.8 On request you must provide us with written confirmation from your child’s General Practitioner confirming the suitability of the holiday for your child with particular reference to such considerations as physical access, successful participation and health and safety.

5.9 Where we provide transportation as part of the booking you and/ or your child shall abide by the Travel Rules. Failure to do so may result in our declining to provide transportation services for your child or in making alternative transportation arrangements at your cost. Serious breach may result in exclusion of your child in accordance with section 5.5. All transport routes are subject to minimum numbers and availability, and times may change depending on operational requirements. Any changes to routes or times will be notified to you as soon as is reasonable and where possible a suitable alternative will be provided.

5.11 We reserve the right to exclude any child or cancel the booking for any child at any time prior to the arrival date or between the arrival date and the departure date if we in our absolute discretion have reason to believe that important information has not been provided to us.

9.2 Inappropriate use of or sharing of images or videos taken at camp is not permitted and may result in your child being excluded from camp. 

10. Data Protection

Personal information requested during the booking process is held on computer and used by us in connection with the booking.
