Health issues, Allergies, Medical Conditions
If you are a participant of a course, event or workshop held by Hips and Haws Wildcrafts, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have let us know in advance about any health issues (whether physical, mental or emotional in nature) that you may have, including relevant allergies (bee stings, anaphylaxis, food allergies, etc.,) and other medical conditions which could affect your own safety and by extension could place the safety and wellbeing of others present in the group into jeopardy.
If you suffer from known anaphylaxis allergies, please be sure that you have brought your epi-pen and please show me where you keep it in the event of an emergency.
************************************************************
Welcoming and Safe Space
We would like to be as inclusive as possible and work hard to create a welcoming space to a wide diversity of people. We do not and shall not discriminate on the basis of age, race, colour, gender, gender expression, religion, disability, or sexual orientation.
Should you suffer from mobility issues or another disability we can recommend some dates or event options where possible. We also offer private events and this may be a more appropriate option for you.
Should financial difficulty prevent you from booking a place with us we are sometimes able to offer work-exchange and a partial payment option. We would not like to exclude anyone from access to wild places or nature connection and wild food knowledge.
************************************************************
Special diets, Food Intolerances, Food Allergies, Coeliac/gluten-free, etc
At the time of booking you will be asked about dietary needs or preferences. This will be taken into account as best as possible on the day. While we are able to cater for vegetarian or vegan if requested in advance we cannot always guarantee gluten-free. When possible we will: but please be sure to confirm this with us in advance of the event- (minimum 3-4 days before the event). Wild food preparations are often made on an on-going basis throughout the year, when in season. Also of note- it is recommended that as with all new foods- a small amount should be tried the first time to determine personal tolerance. Wild mushrooms are the same and should be tried in small quantity the first time. Some edible mushrooms are known to cause a percentage of people mild gastric symptoms.

Considerations on personal safety and comfort:
We will be spending time outdoors- there are many possible challenges such as bee-stings, insect bites, sunburn, hot, cold, wet, windy or inclement weather conditions, uneven ground, a campfire, sticks and branches, brambles and tripping hazards. We recommend that you prepare for such conditions and take all safety precautions as you see fit.
Access to public toilets is often not an option in all locations. For some events we will meet in private woodlands. A wild wee may be necessary! For these events I will try to give you advance warning of this.
************************************************************
