Kids Open Mic is an open community performance event, not childcare, not a school activity, not child-minding and not a supervised youth program. The parent/guardian remains responsible for the performer before, during and after the event. Performers under 16 must have a responsible parent/guardian or authorised adult physically present for the entire event. The venue, organisers, volunteers and other participants are not taking the child into their care or supervision. Participation is voluntary and at the performer’s and parent/guardian’s own risk, subject to applicable law and venue/event safety requirements. All instruments, cases, phones, tablets, backing-track devices and other personal property remain the responsibility of the performer and parent/guardian. The venue and organisers are not responsible for loss, theft or damage except where liability cannot lawfully be excluded.
