London Train Party

Please send me details about the London Train Party

In order that rail tickets at the best price can be obtained through group booking, the London Train Party information will be circulated in advance of the main Camp joining instructions. Tick here if you would you like to have details of this. (Ticking the box does not commit you in any way at this stage).

PART 2

HEALTH & SAFETY

It is important that Camp staff are made aware of any medical condition that a chorister has, or other situation affecting their well-being, with details of any medication, special dietary requirements or other relevant information. This includes any allergies or sensitivity to particular foods or chemicals, even if not life-threatening. It is also helpful to know of conditions that are occasional rather than constant.

Does the chorister have any particular special educational needs, disability, illness or medical condition? *

Yes

If Yes, please give details of the special educational needs, disability, illness or medical condition *

Does the chorister need to take any particular medication? *

Yes

Please read our notes on first-aid and non-prescription medication here: https://tinyurl.com/mcc-first-aid/.

If Yes, please give details about necessary medication *

It is assumed that all choristers needing to take tablets or medication (either prescription or non-prescription) will themselves be responsible for this during the week of Camp.

This is generally found to be the most convenient approach for Choristers and Camp Staff alike. Where, however, such an approach is impractical for a particular chorister, the Camp\’s Nurses/First Aiders will gladly assist. Please read our notes on first-aid and non-prescription medication here.

Will the chorister be responsible at Camp for the administration of any such medication? *

Yes

If No, please say here how you would like Health Team to help with medications

Is the chorister allergic to any medication (including First Aid or similar products or other medication referred to at the end of this form) or food or other substances? *

Yes

If Yes, please give details about allergies *

Does the chorister have any particular dietary requirements (for medical or other reasons)? *

Yes

If Yes, please give details about dietary requirements *

Is the chorister able to swim 25 metres unaided? *

Yes

Are there are any other circumstances that might affect the chorister's general wellbeing at Camp? *

If there are any home circumstances that might cause a chorister to feel worried or concerned during Camp - for example some issue at school or a family illness - it would be helpful for Camp to be made aware of this. Such information would of course be treated sensitively. [The Camp staff includes qualified teachers, Health Team and other people experienced in looking after children.]

Yes

If Yes, please give details about other circumstances *

Chorister's Doctor or Medical Practice *

Please give the name and phone number for the Chorister's Doctor or Medical Practice

Acknowledgement & Authorisations

Please read these carefully and use the tick boxes to indicate your acceptance. All four authorisations must be acknowledged by you.

I understand that the chorister will not necessarily be under the immediate physical supervision of staff at all times. *

I agree

I hereby authorise the Health Team or Duty Staff to administer to the chorister any of the Camp's standard non-prescription medication or First Aid *

(as indicated in the note/list at the foot of this form) and/or any medication already prescribed for the chorister.

Data Protection *

For the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation 2016, I agree that information provided on this form and by other means may be stored and used for the purposes of organising the Camp; and that contact details, photographs and other selected data may be made available to staff, choristers and others in connection with Camp as considered appropriate by the organisers.

I agree

Use of the contact details of under-18 choristers *

Parents/carers are asked to note and support the camp’s protocols for communication with choristers aged under 18, which are as follows.

Overall, when the camp needs to contact an under-18 chorister the parent/carer will be contacted, not the chorister. In the event that an adult connected with the camp receives a communication from an under-18 chorister, the camp will reply to the parent/carer, not to the chorister (or, in the case of an email received, the reply may be to the chorister copied both to the parent/carer and to the camp’s main ‘admin’ email address).

There are three possible variations to those general provisions.
1. During camp week only, and in emergency only, a phone call might be made to an under-18 chorister’s mobile phone. This is the only reason that parents/carers are invited to provide the camp with the chorister's mobile number. The parent/carer is given the option of providing their own mobile number instead.
2. Immediately after camp, further information about the week will be sent out to parents/guardians with information which will be relevant to the chorister, such as links to recordings etc.
3. If parents/carers have chosen to give the camp an email address for the chorister, it will be used for general ‘bcc’ mass mailings about future Morland Camps and Friends of Morland events.
4. Morland Camp has a tradition, dating back to the time of the camp’s founder Canon Gervase Markham, for exchanging hand-written letters with choristers. The camp is keen for this tradition to be preserved, and the protocol for it is as follows:
(a) For hand-written letters being sent to the camp, parents/carers/choristers are given camp’s official postal address at Newby End Farm (NEF), which is the address of the camp’s General Manager, David Jones. In the event that a letter from an under-18 chorister is received by another adult connected with the camp it is forwarded unanswered to the General Manager.
(b) The General Manager opens all letters received from under-18 choristers, forwards, by email, letters intended for other adults as required, records the details of each letter received and any reply sent, and stores securely online scans of all such letters received and sent.
(c) Hand-written replies sent to under-18 choristers are written under the camp’s official NEF address, not the adult’s personal address, and are checked by a second adult before being dispatched. The envelope is addressed to the parent/carer, not to the chorister, so that the parent/carer has the choice whether or not to pass the letter on to the chorister.

I note and support the camp’s protocols, as above, for communication with choristers aged under 18.

I have read and understood these, and I undertake to contact the camp if I have any queries on them.

Photos/Videos *

I note that photos/videos are made at the Camp and that it is the Camp’s strict policy that photos/videos and public documents must not disclose personal information which might enable an individual child to be identified. I note that the Camp Rules now cover the use of mobile phones, cameras and social media, and that public guidance on the safe use of the internet by children is readily available. I undertake to contact the Camp’s organisers well in advance of Camp if I have any particular concerns on any of this.

I agree

Morland Mailing List

Please add my details to the Friends of Morland mailing list, to receive information about future Camps and other Morland events and activities.

Deposit and Balance of Fee *

I note that the £25 deposit is now due, and will be returned if a place cannot be allocated; the deposit is non-returnable after 31st March; the full fee for the 2023 camp is £385 and the balance is due by 1st July 2023; and the full fee becomes non-returnable after 30th June 2023 if the chorister withdraws and the place cannot be filled.

I agree
