Personal Responsibility Agreement

  • Women in Power is an experience which will involve you in a range of activities inside and outside, some of which may feel very unfamiliar to you. While we do all we can to safeguard you, you may find some of the activities challenging in terms of your energy or what you can comfortably do physically. We will be working in all weathers, outside at night on occasion, and some of the days are very long. You will probably be camping and there will be a number of outdoor fires, which require the usual precautions. Where appropriate you will receive safety briefings, however you should be aware that participation in Women in Power is not without some level of risk (not unlike life really!). The site is some distance from professional medical help although there will be a first aider on site and basic first aid equipment.
  • Although we can accommodate women who have health issues, you should consider if you are in reasonable health and able to participate fully at this time. Some of the activities are physically demanding and require a degree of stamina. If you have medical concerns, we recommend you consult with your doctor in advance.
  • Participants with any concerns or a disability should contact us in advance to discuss how we can achieve maximum participation safely. It is vital that we know exactly what your concerns might be and that you state clearly and honestly any limitations you face in terms of your body or mind. This form is designed to enable you to do this.
  • However, it is even more crucial for you to realise that ultimately you are in charge of your own safety. You need to remember that you are the person who knows best your own limits and that you need to take care of yourself at all times and express any concerns you have or tell a member of staff what you need in order to be able to participate to the full. You may choose to decline participation in any of the activities at any time.
  • Please sign this statement so that we know you have carefully considered these points and that you will attend the initiation bearing them in mind.
  • THIS FORM IS AN AGREEMENT TO TAKE PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY WHILST PARTICIPATING IN WOMEN IN POWER. PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING. PLEASE DO NOT SIGN IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OR DO NOT AGREE WITH ITS TERMS.
