Before submitting your booking request, please review our updated Child Safety Policy to ensure the time you select is appropriate for your group’s age range.
- Groups who have participants under the age of 18 years are not permitted to make after-hours bookings UNLESS the Hirer can supply the Visible Ink Coordinator with a photo/scan of their Blue Card for Working with Children. Otherwise, if anyone in your group is under 18 years of age, you will be required to book Visible Ink’s spaces during staffed hours only.
- It is the Hirer’s responsibility to ensure their group’s compliance with current Child Safety legislation where applicable, including ensuring that relevant group members hold valid Blue Cards. Visible Ink does not assess or verify Blue Card requirements as part of the booking process. If you are unsure of these requirements, please seek legal advice or follow the link below:
- Groups containing members who are 26 years of age or older are not permitted to access Visible Ink for after-hours bookings. If you and the majority of your group are aged 12-25, but some individuals aged 26 or over are included, you will be required to book Visible Ink’s spaces during staffed hours only.
