TERMS & CONDITIONS OF BOOKING A DEBRA UK HOLIDAY HOME


POLICY STATEMENT


DEBRA is committed to providing a fair and accessible booking procedure for the allocation of DEBRA UK holiday homes to all DEBRA members.

Bookings for the UK holiday home are subject to DEBRA’s booking terms & conditions which must be read and understood before a booking is made.

 

PURPOSE OF THIS POLICY

To provide a transparent outline of the terms, conditions, and procedure for booking a stay in a DEBRA holiday home whilst promoting high standards and adhering to regulations including health, safety and holiday park rules which will ultimately ensure the best experience is offered to our members.
To ensure fair and appropriate expenditure of DEBRA funds; the holiday homes are heavily subsidised for members.

 

SCOPE

This policy applies to all DEBRA members and any other authorised users of DEBRA holiday homes. Information within this document will act as guidance to all members wishing to book a holiday home.

 

OBJECTIVE

DEBRA aims to provide holidays in the DEBRA holiday homes to enrich the lives of members living with EB through a fair, clear, timely and consistent approach.

 

POLICY DETAILS

 

1. Who can use the holiday homes?

  1. The DEBRA holiday homes are primarily for the use of individuals and families living directly with EB and who are current members of DEBRA. However, the holiday homes can also be used during low season by those DEBRA members not living with EB. Booking details for members not living with EB can be found in section 16 below.
  2. DEBRA reserves the right to refuse any booking that, in the charity’s opinion, may be unsuitable, before or after booking confirmation has been made, either by reasons of numbers, composition, false declaration or the omission of a declaration of information that the charity deems makes the booking to be unsuitable. Any refund will be at DEBRA’s discretion.

 

2. Booking terms

  1. Each DEBRA holiday home Booking Form must name all persons who will be present throughout the duration of the holiday (including children).
  2. During high season (see DEBRA website for dates), bookings must include at least one person who has EB and who is a current member of DEBRA (exceptions may be made for bereaved family members). The name of the person with EB must be stated on the booking form and they must be present throughout the holiday dates booked.
  3. One week’s holiday per year is allowed per DEBRA member living with EB. DEBRA may in its absolute discretion consider applications for a booking of a further second separate week for dates in low (off peak) season, subject to availability. Enquiries in respect of possible bookings for such a second week may be made up to eight weeks prior to the desired start date.
  4. Only one holiday home can be booked at any one time for the same dates by the same family.
  5. Family members living at the same address who wish to stay in a DEBRA holiday home, regardless of who makes the booking within that family, must adhere to the relevant priority booking date.
  6. Only those named on the DEBRA holiday home Booking Form or subsequent documentation may occupy the holiday home. DEBRA must be advised of any name changes prior to the start date.
  7. Under no circumstances may persons other than the persons named in the booking form or notified to DEBRA (as detailed above) occupy the holiday home. DEBRA and the Holiday Park staff (all of whom are authorised by DEBRA in this regard) may refuse entry to both the Holiday Park and to the holiday home by any unauthorised personnel.
  8. The benefit of the booking cannot be transferred to any other group, party or individual without the written approval of DEBRA.
  9. The holiday home is located on a site not owned by DEBRA. The site has its own Rules and Regulations governing use by guests and visitors, which you must observe. It is therefore important that you, as hirer, make sure that you and all other users of the holiday home find out immediately on arrival what these Rules and Regulations are and ensure that they are observed. It is a condition of the acceptance of your booking that this will happen. If you wish to see the current version of these Rules and Regulations before you book a copy will be supplied on request but the contents of these Rules and Regulations are outside DEBRA’s control and may be changed from time to time without our knowledge.

 

3. How to become a DEBRA member

  1. If you have EB or are a family member or carer of someone who has EB and you are not a DEBRA member, you can learn more about the benefits membership has to offer and download a membership registration form by visiting our website at https://www.debra.org.uk/Pages/Category/about-support-eb-community. Membership is free.
  2. Alternatively you can telephone the Membership Team on 01344 771961 option 1 or email [email protected] to request a membership form to be posted to you.

 

4. When to book

  1. Due to the popularity and high demand of the DEBRA holiday homes, and to ensure fairness amongst those eligible to use those holiday homes and to ensure as many people affected by EB as possible have the opportunity to use the holiday homes, the following dates are considered to be Priority Booking Opening Dates for the purpose of submitting booking applications: 

1st October - Priority 1 bookings
Open to DEBRA Members wishing to holiday next year who did not stay at a holiday home during high season of the current year.

1st November - Priority 2 bookings
Open to all Members living with EB wishing to stay in a DEBRA holiday home.

  1. * Temporary trial for October 2023 – All requests made on the bookings opening date will be treated equally and not prioritised by the time they are received. This is to take into account member circumstances where they may not be able to call or email at 9.00 a.m. due to dressing changes and medical management of EB, school drop-offs or work. If multiple requests are received for the same home and date, a ballot will take place. Booking requests received the day after the booking opening date will be dealt with in the order they are received. Booking requests received before will not be accepted. All booking requests will be acknowledged within 14 days.
