​

Students must be trained adequately prior to teaching in order to keep the integrity and standards of the work high, to comply with health and safety and avoid misrepresentation. Teacher Training must be fully completed to make use of any of the afore mentioned elements of work. This has been in effect since 1999 and has been in place to maintain both integrity and high standards. For members wishing to teach Spiderflower, a 4 year teacher training programme must be fully completed. For further details and how to apply see TEACHER TRAINING.

​

8.  HEALTH & SAFETY

​

Spiderflower strives to create a safe environment that looks responsibly to health and safety. Health and safety checks are carried out on all sites. During registration, participants are asked a series of questions to cover all Spiderflower needs to know regarding health and safety. Any changes from the time of filling out registration to the time of commencing an event MUST be reported. If there are any obvious issues that Spiderflower has not asked directly but ought to know regarding your health and safety within the workspace, participants are expected to communicate this. If participants fail to do this, Spiderflower will hold no liability whatsoever should difficulties arise.

​

​

9.  CARE, CONDUCT & LIABILITY

​

9.1.  For an event to be held well, there are many relationships at play that support the work. These relationships are longstanding and have developed over years.  Spiderflower cares about its working relationships in all cases and participants are asked to consider this and act with care whilst attending an event. Rowan Jacqueline Beckett carries Public Liability Insurance, but should a participant, staff member or collaborator act in a way that is wilfully destructive or negligent and damage is then incurred to a person, venue, property or business, they are alone liable for their actions. Should a third party wish to take legal action as a result of a participants conduct that is wilfully destructive or negligent, Spiderflower holds no liability in these cases. If actions are damaging to Spiderflower in anyway, Spiderflower may also consider legal action.

 

9.2.  We are not liable to you for any loss or damage that was not foreseeable, any loss or damage not caused by our breach or negligence, or any business loss or damage. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for any death or personal injury caused by our negligence, liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that the law does not allow us to exclude or limit.

​

​
