U3A Walking Group Disclaimer

Walking is one of the healthiest and safest Outdoor activities. However, neither Burntwood u3a nor the Walk Leader/organiser has control of the environment of the walks, the weather, any animals or indeed any of the walkers themselves and whilst taking normal precautions, providing reasonable help and assistance if necessary, they cannot accept responsibility for any circumstances affecting the Health and Safety of the walker in the party.

Walks organised by u3a Groups automatically receive Public Liability Insurance cover, provided the leaders are members of the Third Age Trust. This is designed to protect the leaders against claims for damage to property and for injury or death which might have been occasioned on the walk. This is NOT a personal accident insurance and accordingly participants on walks are responsible for their own Health and Safety and also the safekeeping of their equipment, clothing, belongings and for administering their own First Aid should the need arise.

Children and dogs are not permitted on u3a walks. Participants on walks should follow the advice / instructions of the Walk Leader in order to minimise risk to themselves and should also ensure that they do not endanger any others in the party

I have read, understood and accept the foregoing Disclaimer
