Process of
Referring a Child on Camp
-
Consent
should be obtained from the family and child
before a referral is made.
-
Download
and fill in ALL parts of the application form
with as much information as possible, If
information is missing this will slow down the
referral process
-
Send or fax this form back to the BYV
Adventure Camps office, for address and phone
numbers follow the "contact us" link to the
left
-
Please note we cannot
provide holidays for children who have severe
disabilities, severe behavioural or mental
health difficulties or those displaying
particularly violent behaviour. However we are
happy to discuss individual cases.
-
Complete one form for
every child you are referring for a
holiday.
-
It is the responsibility
of the referrer to ensure all fees are paid for
each child upon application. Failure to do so will delay the
referral. 5
days notice must be given in order for a full
refund. It is a requirement
that payment be made in full at least 5
days before the holiday or the place will be
offered to another
child.
-
Cases will be prioritised
by those who will not have a holiday this year.
-
Once applications are
received, these will be considered by the
Children’s Team and relevant leaders. The
children will be visited prior to a decision
being made. Once a decision is made, you and the
family (if applicable) will be
informed. Please do not inform a child/young person
that they are going on holiday until you have
had final confirmation. Only at
this point will full details of the holiday be
provided.
-
Please
note that due to time constraints this process
is subject to
change.
