The Rock Challenge is a drug-free initiative. Please note that this extends to all staff, including volunteers.

Anyone who smokes tobacco products, uses (or is under the influence of) alcohol, gets their kicks from inhaling solvents or uses Class A, B or C illegal/prohibited drugs or other substances that adversely affect their ability to work safely on the day of the event will be asked to leave the venue immediately.

By signing this form you are agreeing to abide by this stipulation.

Please also be aware that you will need to be checked against the records held at the Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) to see if information is held about you that could indicate you should not be placed as a volunteer helper at any UK Rock Challenge events.

If you have an up-to-date CRB certificate please send it with this form. If you have applied for a CRB check with Rock Challenge in the past you need not apply again: please send us your CRB certificate with this form. A CRB check will cost you £15 and we will send you a CRB form once we have received this application form.

Please be aware that if your application is successful you will also be required to read, accept and sign the terms and conditions for the Child Protection Policy (CPP). We ask that all our volunteers complete this paperwork to ensure that we are giving the young participants of Rock Challenge the best care and protection we can against people who may have untoward intent in volunteering for the Rock Challenge.

If your son/daughter/ward is asked to leave the venue (for example, for breaking the conditions in the Statement below Section Three) it is not the responsibility of the Rock Challenge to ensure their safe passage home.
Please do not sign this form if you feel that you are unable to provide them with safe transportation away from the venue earlier than the planned time.
