Child safety

Parent/guardian(s) are responsible for their children at all times and must not leave them unattended. The only exception is specific young person sessions (see timetable). Children and young people between the age of 11 and 18 will only be able to attend the young person sessions/lunch on their own if parents have given written consent for them to do so. Parents should go to the DEBRA information desk to complete the necessary form.

Drayton Manor is a public place, the event is not in an enclosed, manned zone. Be aware of all hazards on site and be mindful of potential exit points including fire escapes. Please do not allow children near the hot drinks’ stations, as these will not be attended.

In the event that a child goes missing or a lost child is found, please report this immediately to the DEBRA information desk.

 

Identification  

Event wristbands must be worn at all times during the day and evening event to enable you to access to the DEBRA activities, meals and drinks. Wristbands are also to identify you from the public. Please remember to keep it on, even if you have a shower in the evening. Name badges should be worn throughout the day and handed in as you finally leave the venue.

 

Medical First Aid  

If you need assistance, speak to a member of the hotel staff or DEBRA team.

Dressing changes – if you need to rest or change dressings, please go to the hotel reception desk and request access to our DEBRA medical/changing room.

 

Allergies or special dietary requirements  

Please ensure you inform staff and check that the food you are being served is suitable for you/your child’s needs. Ask to see the allergy sheets before making any food choices.

There will be times when food and hot drinks are left unattended.

 

Fire alarm  

A siren means EVACUATE using the nearest fire exit and make your way to the Fire Assembly Point. Please familiarise yourself with your surroundings and be aware of the fire exits.  

 

Illness and COVID-19  

We politely request that if you are not feeling well that you do not attend this event. In these circumstances we will refund any money that you have paid to us.

 

Activities/entertainment  

Due to the wide range of attendees, we cannot guarantee that every activity will be suitable for everyone. Please consider if an activity is suitable for you or your child/young person or speak to a member of the DEBRA event team if you wish to discuss anything.  

 

Preparing for all weathers  

Remember to bring what you may need for the day, for example preparing for both chilly or sunny weather.  

 

Products and free gifts  

There will be items available to take away, for example pens and skincare items. You are responsible for checking that anything you collect is suitable for your or your child’s use. 

 

Photography 

Our Marketing and Communications team will be at the event with photographers. If you would be happy to be photographed or share your lived experience and can spare 5 to 10 minutes they would be pleased to meet with you. If you would like to volunteer for this, we will make arrangements in advance to suit you on the day, please email [email protected].
