NYMT is committed to protecting children and vulnerable groups and ensuring that their welfare is paramount in every project that it runs and in every aspect of its work.

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Every adult in NYMT has a legal duty to protect children from abuse and to promote their welfare.

Please read our safeguarding policy, which contains important information about your responsibility as an adult: https://nymt.org.uk/safeguarding-policy/

You will be under 18 throughout the project.

Please read our information for parents.

Emergency Contact Relationship: {{ $form->auditionee->emergency_relationship }}

Emergency Tel: {{ $form->auditionee->emergency_tel }}

Regardless of your age, you must seek permission from pastoral staff to go off site and must sign out and back in every time.

The Pastoral Lead will set appropriate limits on supervision and unaccompanied time based on location and other factors. These limits will not be less strict than those listed below, but may be more strict if deemed appropriate. Those under the age of 18 are not permitted to be unaccompanied after sunset.

Under 16s (school residences): Must be in groups of at least three, and will be familiarised with the area by staff.
Under 16s (elsewhere): Must be accompanied by a member of staff.
16s and 17s: Must be in groups of at least two.
18s and older: May be solo, but we encourage at least pairs.

Children under 16 must depart residential stays with a parent or carer, except where permission for alternative arrangements has been given in writing.

This information allows us to provide you with the best possible care. In addition to the information we request below, you are welcome to contact us confidentially to discuss your needs at pastoral@nymt.org.uk.

This section is to be filled in by a parent or carer where the child is under 16. Those over 16 may fill in this section themselves, but please read all information on the form before deciding.

This information will be kept confidential but may be disclosed to relevant professionals if it is necessary to safeguard or promote the welfare of the participant or other members of the NYMT community.

We ask this so that we can fulfil our legal safeguarding duties

If you ticked any of the boxes above, please give us more information. There will be the opportunity to tell us about any other medical issues later on.

Please tick below if you (/your child) might find staying away from home particularly challenging.

NYMT has a team of pastoral staff with significant experience of working in boarding and in supporting children with homesickness. It is extremely rare that homesickness presents a significant problem to children at NYMT beyond the first couple of days, even for those with little or no experience of being away from home.

We encourage you to speak to the pastoral staff on arrival if you believe that homesickness may be a challenge.

Pastoral Staff are authorised to treat minor ailments as follows, where allergies permit:

• headaches or backaches with drinks of water and rest, with paracetamol if deemed necessary;
• wasp stings and insect bites with over-the-counter antihistamine cream;
• hay fever, where there is no prescribed remedy, with over-the counter antihistamine;
• cuts and scrapes with an antiseptic wipe and a plaster;
• bruises with arnica cream and/or cold pads;
• indigestion with over-the counter indigestion tablets.

Please see our First Aid & Medical Policy for more information about how we deal with medical emergencies.

Information on Consent to Medical Treatment

Adults, defined as people of 18 and over, are usually regarded as competent to decide their own treatment. The Family Law Reform Act 1969 also gives the right to consent to treatment to anyone aged 16 to 18. Young people under the age of 16 can consent to medical treatment if they have sufficient maturity and judgement to enable them to give informed consent.
