As stated in the child protection policy, all adults remaining on campus will have a background check completed by staff before the first day of co-op. Listing the names below gives SCCH permission to complete the background checks to ensure the safety of all involved in SCCH. You may not list anyone who currently attends co-op.
WAIVER: In consideration of my child(ren), ward, myself, and my family, being permitted to participate in any way, in any and all activities of the Secret City Christian Homeschoolers (SCCH) and Glenwood Baptist Church (GBC), at the residence of any Member or at any and all locations where such activities take place (collectively, the Activities), I, for myself, my child, my family, and/or ward, my heirs, personal representatives or assigns, do hereby covenant not to sue, and release, waive, and discharge, SCCH, and GBC, its directors, officers, staff members, volunteers, advisors, property owners, and/or agents, from liability and of and from any and all claims including the negligence or default of SCCH and GBC, its directors, officers, staff members, volunteers, advisors, property owners, and/or agents, resulting in personal injury, accidents or illnesses (including death), and property loss arising from, but not limited to, participation in the Activities.
​
ASSUMPTION OF RISK: Participation in the Activities carries with it certain inherent risks that cannot be eliminated regardless of the care taken to avoid injuries. The specific risks vary from one activity to another, but the risks range from (1) minor injuries such as scratches, bruises, and sprains, (2) major injuries such as eye injury, loss of sight, joint or back injuries, broken bones or teeth, asthma or heart attacks, and concussions, to (3) catastrophic injuries including paralysis and death.
I have read the previous paragraphs, and I know, understand, and appreciate these and other risks that are inherent in the Activities, which may include without limitation, parties, picnics, hiking, swimming, field trips to museums, plays, parks, recitals, or practices. I hereby assert that my participation and/or the participation of my children, family or wards, is voluntary, and that I knowingly assume and accept all risks. I also understand that I may participate in activities that are not sponsored or supported by SCCH and GBC but are private activities of Members and that I assume all risks associated with such private activities (non-SCCH/GBC activities).
​
INDEMNIFICATION AND HOLD HARMLESS: I also agree to INDEMNIFY AND HOLD SCCH/GBC, its directors, officers, staff members, volunteers, advisors, property owners, and/or agents, HARMLESS from any and all claims, actions, suits, procedures, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, brought as a result of my involvement in the activities of non-SCCH/GBC activities or both, and/or the involvement of a minor child, family member or ward of mine in the Activities or non-SCCH/GBC Activities, or both, in any location where activities are conducted, and of and from all claims which may hereafter develop or accrue to them on account of injury, loss, or damage, which may be suffered by said minor or to any property, because of any matter, thing or condition, negligence or default whatsoever, and to reimburse them for any such expenses incurred.
​
SEVERABILITY: The undersigned further expressly agrees that the foregoing waiver, and assumption of risks, indemnification and hold harmless, agreement is intended to be as broad and inclusive as is permitted by the law of the State of Tennessee, and that if any portion thereof is held invalid, it is agreed that the balance shall, notwithstanding, continue in full legal force and effect.
