Cheques should be made payable to ‘SCRIPTURE UNION HOLIDAYS’. The balance of your fees is due not later than eight weeks before the holiday commences. If payment is not made by the due date, we reserve the right to cancel your holiday booking. Full payment should accompany bookings made within eight weeks of the holiday. Please note Booking Secretaries and holiday leaders are often volunteers and may not be available during normal office hours.
Important
Booking conditions and other important information:
Special Needs
Whilst recognising that all children are special, some may have needs which require extra support. It is Scripture Union's aim to include such children on our holidays within the guidelines of suitable provision and staffing. To do this we ask all parents to give us full details of their child's special needs (ie disability / medical condition / medication) at the time of booking in order that we can meet those needs to the best of our ability. We must also be advised at the time of booking if a child currently has or has recently experienced any behavioural or social problems which may affect their own safety and / or the well-being of others on the holiday.
What if I cancel?
The Booking Secretary should be informed immediately. If you cancel eight weeks or less before the holiday commences you will be liable for the full fee. (See What about Insurance?)
What if the holiday is cancelled?
In the unlikely event of a holiday having to be cancelled, or for some unforeseen reason curtailed, Scripture Union undertakes to refund fees already paid to participants. We have also arranged for the security of your money paid in the unlikely event of our insolvency. An independent trust has been set up to hold the fees until the completion of the holiday.
What about insurance?
Scripture Union is fully covered for public liability. You are not, however, insured against personal accident or injury as a result of an accident or loss of possessions. We therefore suggest those who feel that additional insurance is necessary to make their own arrangements. There is a scheme which has been arranged specially for Scripture Union holiday attendees and covers you for a wide range of activities. As the insurance industry is now regulated by the Financial Services Authority, we are unable to provide advice on insurance matters. Full details and an application form can be sent to you on request - please tick the box on the Booking Form.
Photographs
You may be photographed on the holiday! The photographs will only be used by SU or organisations in sympathy with SU to whom express permission may be granted. If you do not wish to be photographed please tell the photographer who will respect your wishes. We cannot take responsibility for any photographs /video clips that are put onto social networking sites by guests on the holidays. Scripture Union may use photographs / video clips to promote its holidays on such sites. Please contact us if this is of concern to you.
Data protection
Scripture Union will hold your details on file but will not release the information to any third party. Some details may be shared with the team and an address list may be shared with the young people and team on your chosen holiday enabling them to make contact outside of the holiday but if you are not happy for this to happen please advise the holiday leader when booking.
We welcome your comments in order to continue to improve our service to you. If there is a problem with the holiday please write to us immediately and we will do our utmost to find a satisfactory solution. We would also like to hear from you with your positive comments.
Scripture Union reserves the right to:
- Refuse any application,
- Alter or cancel a holiday where necessary,
- Ask a young person to leave the holiday if their behaviour is incompatble with the general enjoyment and well-being of others, in which case the parent or guardian will be informed and collection arrangements must be made at their own expense and no refund will be given.
