I give permission to Ifetayo Cultural Arts Academy to take photographs or have photographs/videos taken of my child(ren) should the occasion arise. As I am registering my child(ren) to participate in Ifetayo Cultural Arts Academy programming, courses, events, and activities, I hereby waive any right to inspect or approve the finished photographs or electronic matter that may be used in conjunction with them now or in the future, whether that use is known to me or unknown, and I waive any right to royalties or other compensation arising from or related to the use of the image.

EVALUATION AND ASSESSMENT Ifetayo Cultural Arts Academy regularly evaluates the outcomes for youth in our youth programs. Ifetayo examines and assesses the program’s effect on your child and to ensure that you and your child’s needs are met. We are also interested in learning about your child’s development within the program and how the goals achieved in the program contribute to those changes. We are especially interested in understanding more about communication skills (e.g. expressing yourself, listening to others, relaying information), decision-making and problem-solving skills (e.g. investigating options, understanding consequences), and how youth interact with other young people and adults (e.g. respecting differences, forming healthy friendships/relationships). During our regular school year, the program will be observed by our highly trained staff and students will periodically be asked to respond to program surveys or interviews. All his/her individual responses and specific observation notes will be kept strictly confidential, and you are invited to inquire directly about any evaluation and assessment activities. CONFIDENTIALITY All documents and student records containing personal data are kept confidential. All staff and consultants understand and acknowledge Ifetayo’s written confidentiality policies. RISK MANAGEMENT Safety management is our priority. The physical and emotional well-being of our participants is the primary concern of our teachers. Ifetayo uses care in the selection of our teachers, transportation companies, facilities, and services, and takes proactive steps for all participants and their personal property. Our risk management protocol cannot remove all risks; parents and participants must understand the nature of our programs and accept the inherent risks involved in such activities. EQUIPMENT Ifetayo will provide equipment as noted in the supplies list in the parent-student handbook. Participants are expected to care for all equipment. However, students are responsible for obtaining their own instruments (drums and horns), and visual arts materials including cameras etc. for practice at home and for the performance. It is highly recommended that parents invest in instruments and materials for their child’s use at the program and outside. If a student damages or loses any equipment belonging to Ifetayo, the student, and parent will be held responsible (normal wear and tear excluded). Ifetayo’s insurance will not cover the personal property and equipment of participants; parents should check their own insurance policy to insure their child’s personal property and equipment are covered against loss, theft, or damage.
