EXPEDITION CONSENT FORM
Please complete this form no later than 1 week prior to your expedition
Please read the acknowledgement of risk below and then confirm that you have read and understood the content of the document, agree to the booking terms and conditions and understand what you will be participating in.
Acknowledgement of Risk
We have taken all reasonable steps to provide participants with the level of care and assurances of safety appropriate to the activity. However there are certain risks which are integral to the activity and which cannot be eliminated without destroying the unique character of a Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Expedition.
DofE expeditions must be unaccompanied, self-reliant and completed by the participants’ own physical efforts with minimal external intervention. Therefore participants will not be directly supervised 100% of the time. During the expedition you may encounter the following:
- Walking on rough terrain.
- Extended physical effort.
- Environmental hazards (changeable weather etc.).
- Feeling uncomfortable, tired and upset.
Medical statement
In the event of an accident I give my consent to any emergency treatment, as considered necessary by the medical authorities present. I therefore authorise the instructor(s) to sign, on my behalf, any written form of consent required, provided that in the opinion of the doctor/surgeon any delay could endanger the health and safety of the participant.
I agree to notify Gold Expeditions if any medical conditions or allergies arise, or change, between completing this form and the start of my expeditions. Failure to disclose any medical conditions can have a serious impact on all those taking part in the expedition. Therefore, I understand that I may be removed from the expedition if known medical conditions become apparent that have not been disclosed prior to the expedition.
Agreement
I wish to take part in the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award training and expeditions provided by Gold Expeditions Ltd. I confirm that I am fit and able to undertake an expedition where I will be walking for 8 hours a day in mountainous terrain whilst carrying all necessary expedition kit.
I agree to follow the instructions given by any of the instructors. I understand that I will need to work as part of a team and agree to show respect to my fellow participants at all times.
I confirm that I have read and understood the content of this document, I agree to the booking terms and conditions and I understand what I will be participating in.
By signing this you do not release Gold Expeditions Ltd. from any of their obligations, nor does it affect your legal rights.
