The student has been granted permission to take part in the Zoo Academy at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo, on the dates above.

The student agrees to behave in an appropriate manner at all times, including when unaccompanied.

The student is allowed into the selected animal enclosures being fully aware of, and accepting the hazards, risks and control measures that may be associated with doing so.

The student agrees to take the utmost care at all times. Any wild animal can be dangerous, and they must do only what they are instructed to do by the ZSL staff supervising the activity.

The student will make no attempt to rouse, touch, feed or otherwise make contact with animals without ZSL’s staff permission and supervision.
The student will adhere to all safety rules and procedures at all times. Each student will be given a briefing on Health and Safety issues on arrival and briefed on emergency procedures, with which they should make themselves familiar.
ZSL shall not be liable for any claim in respect of the injury or death of the student, save to the extent that death or injury is due to the negligence of ZSL or it’s servants.
ZSL shall not be liable for any claim in respect of loss or damage to any of the student’s property while on the site.
The student will notify ZSL of any medical conditions which might be aggravated by the activities, environment or animals, or which staff should be aware of in case of emergency.
