Notes
GDPR Compliance:
Note 1:  Please provide an email address where possible or alternatively one belonging to a contact who uses email regularly. This our preferred method for contacting you.  Where a student is under 18, it is assumed that this email address is that of a parent/carer. If the student is 14 or over, you may wish provide us with the student’s own email address in addition to your own.
Note 2:  It is often useful for Course Tutors and fellow students to have a contact number and/or an email address for you (e.g., for sharing transport arrangement purposes or in case the unexpected arises).  If you tick the privacy boxes, your contact details will only be passed to your group tutor.
Note 3:  Say if you WISH to be informed of future courses. If you do your name will be added to my ‘BCC’ mailing list.
 
General:
Note 4:  We provide a mid-day meal, usually stew and baked potatoes.  It will be helpful for us to know if there are any preferences or dietary restrictions on what you can or cannot eat. Offerings of puddings or cake will be very much appreciated by all.
Note 5: Minimum Standard:  It is expected that you can safely ring a bell on your own and that you are ringing rounds and call changes. Ideally you should be able ring an inside bell to a simple method unless you come from a band that only rings call changes, but to a high standard, such as in Devon.
Note 6: Teachers: As a condition of hiring the hall, we have to ensure that there is a least one person in each group which includes children and/or young adult under 18 year or a vulnerable adult within it, has DBS clearance and ideally has undergone Basic and Foundation safeguarding training. Please state the level of training you have undertaken and that you can provide the relevant certificate if asked.
Note 7: Groups: The workshop is designed for 18 students and divided into three groups of six. We like to share ringers from the same tower between the three groups. This means that students will pick up different tips from their group leaders which they can compare with one another when they get back to their home tower.  Say if you wish to stay in the same group from other students from your tower, and if there is a preference, who.
