Promotion consent
By providing photo consent during booking, you authorise A Touch of the Wild to use photos and video footage taken during your activity to be used explicitly for a Touch of the Wild marketing and promotional material.

Children with special needs
If your child or a child in your group has a learning/support mentor at school we require you to provide a similar mentor to support your child during the A Touch of the Wild programme. The mentor must be a qualified person with credentials which can be checked. This person must have a DBS certificate. If A Touch of the Wild staff are not informed of your child’s special needs during the booking process and they arrive to the session without a support mentor, you will be contacted and asked to provide a support mentor. If you are unable to do so, you will be required to collect your child from the A Touch of the Wild programme. This condition is in place to keep your child safe and secure in an outdoor learning environment.

Participants Health and Fitness
Participants should ensure that they are in a satisfactory state of health before booking. Participants are requested to provide any relevant medical and dietary information at the time of booking so that necessary arrangements can be made.

Medical Emergency consent for Woodland Adventure Club & Birthday Parties
Upon booking a child into an event where the parent/guardian will not be present you authorise any A Touch of the Wild staff holding a current first aid certificate to administer first aid treatment to your child/children. This may be in the form of minor or major life saving treatment.  You also authorise A Touch of the Wild to consent to any X-ray, examination, anaesthetic, diagnosis, treatment, and/or hospital care that may be recommended by a licensed physician or dentist. For minor illnesses or injuries A Touch of the Wild will attempt to contact the parents/guardian at the earliest practicable opportunity. For major illnesses or injuries A Touch of the Wild will attempt to contact the parents/guardian before the commencement of any medical treatment, unless the child’s condition is such that treatment must be commenced immediately before contact with the parents/guardian can be made. Even if the parents/guardian cannot be reached, this authorisation remains in full force and effect.
