When taking part in any adventure activity, risks are encountered that could result in emotional and physical injury up to and including fatality. Whenua Iti Outdoors (WIO) manages these risks with the use of highly trained staff who make decisions about acceptable risks, while enabling students to build their skills, knowledge, experience, confidence and judgement. WIO will take all reasonable steps to manage risks to an acceptable level and to set appropriate safety standards. At times WIO staff will make decisions on behalf of the group about the acceptability of certain risks. Students must follow the instructions of staff in regard to safety and risk management.

I understand that there are risks associated with activities in the outdoors. I am aware that WIO will take all reasonable steps to manage these risk to an acceptable level and to set appropriate safety standards. Where my child does not comply with the instructions of any WIO staff member in regard to safety or risk management, I acknowledge that WIO may not be held responsible for any outcome.

During the course Whenua Iti Outdoors reserves the right to depart a student early, without refund, if undisclosed behavioural issues are deemed to cause safety concerns or unfairly impact the group.

During the course Whenua Iti Outdoors may take photographs or video.

By signing this declaration, you give Whenua Iti Outdoors permission to use photographs or video containing the image of your child for this purpose. Individual students will not be named.
