Participant Group Activity Information & Rules

By purchasing a ticket and attending this RCS group activity, participants and their support worker agree to the following guidelines. These are in place to ensure everyone has a safe, inclusive, and enjoyable experience.

​

Activity Guidelines

1. Support & Supervision

• RCS events are a 1:1 ratio. Participants must attend with the appropriate level of support for their individual needs.

• Support workers, carers, or family members remain responsible for the participant they are supporting throughout the activity.

2. Safety First

• Please follow instructions from RCS staff and facilitators at all times.

• Activities are optional — participants may choose how and when they take part.

• If a participant feels unwell, overwhelmed, or needs a break, supports should assist them to a safe space.

3. Respect & Inclusion

• We ask everyone to treat others with kindness, patience, and respect.

• RCS activities are inclusive and welcoming — bullying, discrimination, or unsafe behaviour will not be tolerated.

• Personal space and communication preferences of others must be respected.

4. Choice & Participation

• Participants are encouraged to join in at their own pace.

• There is no pressure to participate in every activity — observing or taking a break is okay.

• Supports should encourage choice, not force participation.

5. Behaviour & Wellbeing

• Any behaviour that places the participant, others, or staff at risk may require the activity to be paused or the participant to leave, with support.

• RCS staff will work collaboratively with supports to manage situations respectfully and safely.

6. Personal Care & Medication

• Supports remain responsible for all personal care needs, medications, and health management during the activity.

• RCS staff do not administer medication at group activities unless previously agreed in writing.

7. Belongings & Equipment

• Participants and supports are responsible for personal belongings.

• Please ensure any mobility aids, sensory supports, or equipment are clearly labelled and used safely.

8. Photography & Media

• Photos or videos may be taken for RCS promotional purposes.

• Consent will be respected at all times. Please inform staff if you or the participant do not wish to be photographed.

9. Weather & Environmental Conditions (if applicable)

• Some activities are weather-dependent. RCS may modify or cancel activities if conditions are unsafe.

• Supports are responsible for ensuring participants are dressed appropriately for the activity.

10. Shared Responsibility

• Group activities work best when everyone plays their part.

• By attending, participants and supports agree to work collaboratively with RCS staff to create a positive experience for all.
