What you are agreeing to
Three separate consents: the event waiver, guardian consent, and the media release.

Risk
1. Event waiver
In plain words: a beach at night has real hazards: darkness, uneven sand, water, sometimes dogs, and help far away. You choose to be there and are responsible for yourself. We run events carefully and any volunteer can stop one, but we cannot make a beach safe.
By registering you confirm that you:
- are attending voluntarily and understand the setting;
- can walk on soft sand in the dark, or have told us you cannot;
- will follow the night code and the site captain’s instructions;
- will not attend under the influence of alcohol or anything that affects your judgement;
- accept that we may cancel or stop an event at any time, for weather or the animals.
Our rules: the field code. What we ask of you: turtle walks.
Minors
2. Guardian consent for under-18s
In plain words: under-18s need a parent or guardian’s consent, and that adult must attend with them, not drop them off.
- Who consents
- A parent or legal guardian, in their own name, before the event.
- Attendance
- The consenting adult attends and is responsible for the minor throughout.
- What it covers
- Participation, the waiver above, and separately whether photos of the minor may be taken and published.
- Withdrawing it
- At any time, before or during, with no reason needed.
- Minimum age
- Set per event and shown when you register. Some events are not suitable for young children.
Images
3. Photo and media release
In plain words: we sometimes photograph groups. You can say no with no effect on your attendance or certificate.
If you agree, we may use images that include you to
- show what an event is like, on this site and our Instagram;
- illustrate material used in schools.
Whether you agree or not, we will never
- use flash on a beach at night;
- publish anything that identifies a nest location;
- stage a photo of anyone holding a turtle or hatchling;
- publish an image of a minor without separate guardian consent;
- sell an image or pass it on for advertising.
You can withdraw permission later through the grievance route. We will remove the image from anything we control, but cannot retrieve copies others have reshared.
Where these are recorded
Each consent is recorded separately at registration, with a timestamp and the version of the wording you agreed to. How long we keep it: privacy notice.
Walk-in participants sign a paper version with the same terms at the meeting point.
