Please read the following information on health and safety, medical/emergency and care and photography.
Health and Safety
The Adelaide Swords Club Inc. Health and Safety policy is designed to ensure that all fencing-related activities are undertaken safely and according to the Rules for Competition as codified by the Federation International d’Escrime.
In summary: follow all instructions from committee members and coaches, warm up appropriately and wear all protective equipment, be aware of your surroundings, and never fence with an aim to hurt or injure. A full copy of the policy is available on the Adelaide Swords Club Website: www.adelaideswordsclub.org.au
Child protection. Our coaches have up-to-date working with children clearance and first aid. For anyone aged 18 or younger visiting the club for a try session or beginner course, we require a parent or guardian to stay for the duration of the session.
By ticking the box in the registration form, I/we have read and understood the Adelaide Swords Club Inc. Occupational Health and Safety policy, and agree to abide by the rules and regulations set out in this policy.
Medical
I hereby agree to indemnify The Adelaide Swords Club Inc. and its members against any claims made by me/my child for loss or injury sustained as a result of my participation with The Adelaide Swords Club Inc. and my presence on its premises.
In the event of an emergency, accident or illness to me/my child, I hereby give permission to The Adelaide Swords Club Inc. to seek medical, ambulance or hospital attention, as required and accept full responsibility for all expenses incurred.
Taking Images of Children
Images of children can be used inappropriately or illegally. We require that members, wherever possible, obtain permission from a child’s parent or guardian before taking an image of a child that is not their own. We will also make sure that the parent or guardian understands how the image will be used.
To respect people’s privacy, we do not allow camera phones, videos and cameras to be used inside changing areas, showers and toilets which we control or are used in connection with our club.
When using a photo of a child, we will not name or identify the child without the consent of the child’s parent or guardian. We will not provide information about or publish personal information, such as a residential address, email address or telephone number, a child’s hobbies, interests, school or the like, as this can be used by pedophiles or other persons to ‘groom’ a child.
We will only use images of children that are relevant to our club’s activities and we will ensure that they are suitably clothed in a manner that promotes our club. We will seek permission from a child’s parent or guardian before using their images.
