Please ensure that you read and sign to accept all of the following:
1. I wish to apply as a volunteer at the centre and confirm that all details given are accurate to the best of my knowledge. I agree that should the centre require additional information about me at any time, I will provide what is required. If required, I am willing to obtain reports from a specialist practitioner who is familiar with my condition and understand that I may be required to pay a fee for such a report.
2. I recognise that activities with horses are a risk sport and I voluntarily accept the risks involved. I further understand the need for the participant or carer to take all reasonable precautions. In the absence of any negligence on the part of the centre, I accept that no liability will attach to them.
3. I will immediately inform the centre of any change in my:
- address, email or contact numbers
- medication or in my mental or physical health condition
- changes to my emergency contact details
4. Volunteers working with horses need to provide their own riding hat that conforms to valid safety standards (Standards currently include PAS015:1994 or PAS015:1998, ASTM F1163 (2004a), SNELL E2001 or VG1). We have a small number of hats that may be borrowed for initial sessions, but regular volunteers will need their own hat.
6. If I engage in any behaviour that falls outside the Scropton Behaviour Agreement, this may result in immediate termination of my sessions without notice.
7. I agree to taking all measures necessary to minimise the risk of the spread of the Covid-19:
- I will ensure before each visit to the group, that I am not displaying any COVID-19 symptoms requiring self-isolation i.e. high temperature, a new persistent cough or loss of smell or taste; or living with anyone who is displaying any of these symptoms.
- If symptoms are evident, for me or anyone in my household, I will contact the Group to let them know and I will stay at home in line with government guidelines.
- I will thoroughly wash or sanitise my hands on arrival.
- I will endeavour to follow standard social distancing at all times possible i.e. remain at 2m/6ft distance from others (other than my parents/carers, when applicable).
- If I fall ill, or display any of the symptoms during my visit, I will advise somebody then return home immediately, avoiding touching anything where possible and follow advice on self-isolation.
In preparation of getting started after lockdown, our centre has taken the following measures necessary to minimise the risk of the spread of the infection:
- Ensured the venue has been cleaned, with all hard surfaces and equipment sanitised.
- Displayed signs on site to remind everyone of the need for social distancing and thorough hygiene regimes.
- Supplied sufficient soap/sanitising products and disposable hand towels to allow regular hand washing.
By returning to our centre and signing this form I am confirming that I do not need to self-isolate and acknowledge the Scropton RDA has taken all reasonable steps to reduce the risks of COVID-19.
