Circus Maniacs | Enrol | Health and Safety

enrolment - health & safety information

Circus Maniacs take great care about health & safety issues, and we have an excellent track record.

Please note that you must fill in an enrolment form before you may participate in any of our classes.
It is important that Circus Maniacs is informed about any relevant health information, and that we have your full contact details, d.o.b., plus emergency contacts for you, should you for any reason need emergency medical care.
Particpants under 18 years must also have a parent / guardian sign the enrolment to give their consent. If we do not have this, we may have to refuse you participation.

The person who is in charge on the day that the workshop group is visiting us (or that we are visiting them), must hold basic information about all participants, i.e. full name, date of birth, address, emergency contact details, details of any health issues & the exact name of any medication currently taken.
We will assume that the person who is arranging and booking the workshop will have obtained consent from parents / guardians of any particpants under 18 years.
Circus Maniacs do not require that you show us all this private information, but we do require that Circus Maniacs tutors are made aware of any health issues that might affect any of the workshop participants before the workshop starts.
Having said this, we generally find that most normally active people can participate in most skills whatever age, and most are usually capable of a lot more than they might initially imagine!

For their own safety, students must wear the appropriate clothing & footwear for each of the activities. Please read 'What to Wear' before participating in training with us.
Failure to wear appropriate clothing may mean that you will not be able to participate in all the activities we offer.

For their own safety, and the safety of others, everyone using our Training Space must read and adhere to 'Circus Maniacs School Rules and Safety Procedures'.
These are displayed on the Circus Maniacs Health and Safety noticeboard in the training space.

For most activities it is highly recommended that you bring water with you to drink, to stop you getting dehydrated.
You may only bring water into the training studio. Strictly NO food, is allowed into the training studio itself.
There is an independant cafe on site; it is normally open between 10am - 3pm weekdays
Alternatively you may prefer to bring a packed lunch or picnic and feast on the grass outside.
If the on-site cafe is closed, there are also a number of other local cafes, pubs and local shops about 5 minutes walk away, where food can be purchased.

Circus Maniacs' insurance gives us a £2 million limit of indemnity for any one occurrence.
In addition most of our teacher / performers have their own public liability insurance. They usually either have taken out their own additional public liability insurance policy, or are members of Equity which automatically provides them with public liability insurance cover with a £5 million limit of indemnity for any one occurrence.
