 PERSONAL DECLARATION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I acknowledge that while engaged in this voluntary service with the Abbey Museum and the Abbey Medieval Festival I will act with courtesy and integrity in all my dealings at all times.

I acknowledge that I will take direction from those Co-ordinators and Officers assigned to work with me and report to my delegated area on time and as required.

I understand that if I do not fulfil my part of the agreement (i.e. collect my event pass but do not turn up to work my allocated shifts) I will be billed for the cost of the pass.  In the event of accident, misadventure or illness I will contact the Museum as early as possible so a replacement volunteer may be found.

I declare that I will carry out my voluntary duties with the Abbey Medieval Festival to the best of my ability whilst observing workplace, health and safety procedures. 

I CONFIRM MY AGREEMENT to the above when I press the 'Submit Form' button below.
