Code of Conduct – Participant Expectations

All programs are fully supervised by Valley Youth staff, however staff are unable to prevent young people from leaving the activity and are not responsible for them once they leave the activity space.

All Valley Youth activities are strictly drug, alcohol, smoke and vape-free. These items are not permitted at any activity. Participants must not attend activities in an intoxicated state or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. If a young person arrives intoxicated or with prohibited items, they will be asked to leave the activity immediately. We will follow up with a conversation involving the young person and their parent/guardian to discuss their suitability for future participation.

As a participant in a Valley Youth activity, you are responsible for ensuring your behaviour does not make others feel unsafe or compromise the safety of the group. While Valley Youth will always do its best to manage challenging situations, serious misbehaviour may result in removal from the activity. In such cases, your parent/guardian will be notified, and arrangements will be made for you to be transported home at their expense.

Participants are expected to treat equipment respectfully and keep activity spaces clean and tidy.

Parent/Guardian Expectations (for those under 18)

By allowing your child to attend a Valley Youth activity, you authorise staff to obtain necessary medical assistance in the event of illness or accident, as advised by medical professionals, and agree to cover any associated medical costs.

If your child is found to have prohibited items, requires medical attention, or is removed from the activity due to behavioural concerns or breaches of the Code of Conduct, you are expected to collect them promptly or cover the cost of their transport home.

You agree to cover the cost of any damage or loss caused by your child to equipment, property, or individuals during the activity.
