Help with terms and conditions
Hi all
I sometimes post on law, as I am a law student nearing the end of my LLB.
However, I could do with some advice from the more experienced posters.
My middle daughter, who is in her last year at junior school is due to go on a 4 day residential trip to North Wales in the next four weeks and today she brought home the consent form from the organisation.
All looks ok until I read the declaration on liability.
it states
"Whilst XXX takes all necessary and practical precautions to try to ensure the safety of all participants, unfortunately accidents will occur in consequence. Each participant must familiarise themselves with the hazards and try to minimise these as much as possible by complying with XXX adventure risk guidelines. The Management accept no repsonsibility whatsoever for any loss or injury resulting from any persons involvement in the activity programme. Furthermore, it is understood that participants participate at their own risk"
I know this is a well run organisation, who have an excellent team. However, I am concerned about the liability of the organisation in the event of any accident that is a result of neglect or failure of safety equiptment.
I am just a concerned Mum, maybe a tad over protective in situations out of my control, but does this condition prevent XXX being held liable if something happened that was their fault????
Thanks to all in advance
