1. Code of Conduct

Taking part in circus is fun and everyone has the right to be treated fairly, listened to and respected. 

The following lists capture our basic expectations of how all participants will behave and treat each other whilst taking part in a Circusful activity or class.  Therefore, we use the same Code of Conduct for all adult and child participants. 

Please read the following carefully and ask the lead tutor if you have any concerns or questions. Thank you. 

All participants must:
  • Arrive on time and be ready for class, as late arrivals disrupt the workshop.
  • Warm up properly, if you miss the warm-up you may not be allowed to participate.
  • Inform your instructor of any injuries or medical conditions.
  • Always follow the tutors’ instructions.
  • Always use mats/crash mats and the right equipment. 
  • Be aware of your environment. 
  • Take care on uneven flooring and around rigging wires.
  • Let us know if you are having any problems during your class.
  • Cover any open wounds and notify a teacher immediately of all injuries. 
  • Treat all other participants, tutors, staff and building users with respect.
  • Be dressed appropriately in comfortable, easy to move in, clothing such as leggings/ jogging bottoms and a t-shirt.
  • Be mindful and let others know when you are filming in the space. If uploading anything to social media, check with anyone in the background of your footage to ensure they consent to their image being used.
All participants must not:
  • Climb on or touch any equipment when not in class, or without instruction to do so.
  • Distract tutors, staff or other students.
  • Stand or move under aerial equipment, unless using it themselves.
  • Leave the class at any time without informing the tutor.
  • Attempt to teach other participants. 
  • Attempt to climb on the equipment/seating banks, unless explicitly instructed to do so.
  • Attempt to rig equipment or change any of the rigging in the space. 
  • Ask a tutor to get equipment out for you, unless it’s being used during the class.
  • Eat or bring any nuts into the space as we have students with severe allergies.
  • Ever have consumed alcohol or be under the adverse effect of drugs immediately prior to or during a Circusful activity.  
2. Health, safety and risk taking:

Circusful's tutors, staff, performers, freelancers and volunteers work hard to ensure every participant has a positive, safe, experience. We pride ourselves in providing support to all participants to help them learn new skills and to develop creatively, physically, emotionally and socially. However, due to the nature of circus there will always be an element of risk involved.
By completing your name and submitting this form, you are confirming that you understand the risks involved and are aware of the following:

Taking part in circus arts and all other activities that are taught at our premises or by Circusful employees/ freelancers/ volunteers in other locations subjects the participant to a certain level of danger and risk that cannot be eliminated without jeopardising the essential qualities of circus and the arts. You assume your own risk when taking part in all Circusful led activities, regardless of location. 

At no point will Circusful be held liable or responsible for any injury or accident that may occur as a result of participating in a Circusful led activity. 

Circusful tutors/staff/volunteers provide all participants with clear instructions. These must be followed at all times. Failure to follow these instructions carefully may result in increased risk of injury. 

All  participants are responsible for protecting their own health and safety during the session. 

Participants are responsible for confirming they have the appropriate skill and physical capacity to take part and for notifying the tutor/staff/volunteer if they do not understand the instruction they are being given. 

Participants must conduct themselves in a safe manner in the space, adhering to all rules listed in the main registration form, the guidelines listed above and by following the tutors’ instructions, at all times. 

Any participant causing disruption or acting in an unsafe manner may be excluded without a refund from the class.

Circus training incorporates a number of physical styles of movements including running, jumping, vaulting, swinging, hanging and climbing. Dangerous and unplanned movement is actively discouraged. We focus on training students to have good core strength, balance and technique before being introduced to any movement that may involve risk.

Please note: Physical contact with an instructor is often necessary to prevent accident, and/or to demonstrate the moves being taught.
Importantly:

Circusful (the organisers), tutors and associated event organisers accept no responsibility for any damage, loss or injury of any kind, howsoever caused to, or suffered by, any person participating any activity as part of Circusful classes, workshops or events.

Circusful does not tolerate inappropriate behaviour. This includes but is not limited to; violence, vulgar language or bullying of any kind. If this kind of behaviour is witnessed the participant and will be spoken to/contacted at the earliest opportunity. 

Circusful Staff/tutors are not able to assist participants with toileting, dressing/changing or other matters related to personal hygiene etc. If you are concerned this will exclude you from participating in our classes please telephone the office on 028 9023 6007.
