Submission of this booking form creates a binding agreement between Encounter Youth and schools/community groups, to ensure a safe environment for participants and the effectiveness of the presentation. This must be agreed upon before the booking will be finalised.
To ensure a safe environment for participants, school/community groups will:
- Ensure the most appropriate staff members attend and engage at all times to provide behavioural support and to meet duty-of-care obligations.
- Provide emotional and practical support to students/staff following the completion of the seminar(s).
- Notify Encounter Youth, before the seminar begins, of any relevant issues/incidences related to the topics to be presented.
To ensure the effectiveness of the presentation, school/community groups will:
- Provide an effective presenting space, with appropriate seating per number of students and a clear viewing path of the presentation for each student.
- Allow adequate time for the presenter to set up prior to the presentation. We suggest allowing 15 minutes to set up.
- Notify Encounter Youth of any other agencies presenting or invited to the seminar(s).
- Notify Encounter Youth about relevant participant information when working with this group i.e. literacy, behaviour or learning preferences.
