Safety & Participation Information

​

At Surrey Circus Centre Ltd, safety is our top priority. Circus and aerial activities are physically demanding, and while we take every reasonable precaution, all movement activities carry some risk of bumps, bruises, burns or injury.

 

 

What parents and participants need to know

 

• Classes, workshops, private lessons and open practice involve physical effort and carry some risk, even when safety equipment is used correctly.

• Participants should be in good health, disclose any relevant medical conditions, and avoid training if unwell or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

• Our instructors create a safe and supportive environment, but they are not medical professionals. If an accident or illness occurs, assistance may include basic first aid and contacting emergency services.

• Warm-up is essential — anyone arriving more than 15 minutes late may not be able to join the class safely.

• Correct clothing must be worn (close-fitting clothing, knees covered, no jewellery, long hair tied back).

• Equipment must only be used when authorised by an instructor.

• Participants must not attempt techniques beyond their current ability level or without instructor supervision.

• Independent training is undertaken at the participant’s own responsibility.

 

All participants must agree to the Medical & Participation Waiver before taking part in classes or training. For participants under 18, the waiver must be completed by a parent or legal guardian.

​

For professional / open training users

​

• Professional or open training participants must hold valid and up-to-date Public Liability Insurance (PLI) where required.

• Proof of insurance must be provided to SCC before training and kept current.

• SCC will not prompt participants to renew their insurance — this remains the participant’s responsibility.

• Professional/open training users may rent the training space directly from the church venue, and these arrangements are separate from SCC classes.

​

Liability

​

Surrey Circus Centre Ltd, its directors, instructors and freelance teachers take reasonable precautions to provide a safe training environment. However, participation in circus and aerial activities carries inherent risk.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Surrey Circus Centre Ltd is not liable for accidents, injuries, loss or damage except where caused by negligence or other legal obligation.

 

Personal belongings are brought to the studio at the participant’s own risk.

​

Agreement

​

All participants must complete and agree to the Medical & Participation Waiver before taking part in any classes, workshops, private lessons, birthday parties or open training sessions.
