You authorise Outward Bound the right to send a copy of your course report to your course fee sponsors, including employers, if requested.

HEALTH AND WELLBEING Safety Your safety and welfare is our primary concern, however you do participate at your own risk and there are times during your course when you will not be under the direct supervision of staff. Our courses are designed to be mentally, emotionally, and physically challenging for the average participant. Activities occur in all weather conditions and can include off‐track tramping, camping outside (sometimes alone), whitewater and surf kayaking, running, sailing, swimming, rockclimbing and high‐ropes. Days are long and participants cannot always be guaranteed a good night’s sleep. Although we have procedures in place to minimise risk, there is always a chance you could get a cold/flu/stomach bug, blisters, sunburn, exhaustion, wasp stings, infected cuts or insect bites, minor sprain of ankles, wrists or knees, or some other injury. At the time of undertaking any activity, you will be briefed fully on the risks and how to avoid them. If you have an illness or are injured you may be asked not to participate in certain activities, to manage the safety of you, your fellow participants, and our staff. There have been no major life changing injuries at Outward Bound in over 10 years, however serious risks are present such as injury from falling, burns, drowning, hypothermia or road accidents. We have a very robust safety management system, externally audited, to reduce the likelihood of these risks. This system includes well trained staff, up to date weather forecasts, communication technology, modern equipment, safe operating procedures, safety checks, staff driving hour restrictions and emergency procedures. We have a strong commitment to safety and an excellent track record, however none of these risks can be completely eliminated. Smoke, drug & alcohol free Outward Bound has a strict no‐smoking policy. No alcohol or non‐prescription drugs are permitted. Medical form Your Outward Bound medical form must be completed no more than 3 months before your course end date. Your Outward Bound medical form is due 8 weeks before your course start date. If your medical is overdue without prior agreement, and it is declined for any reason, the terms and conditions of a cancellation will apply.
Confirmation of your enrolment is subject to approval from both your doctor and Outward Bound. This is to ensure your safety, the safety of others, and quality course outcomes for all. We recommend you book your travel after confirmation of enrolment. 8. PARTICIPANT’S DECLARATION 
