The Manager, Centre staff or agents are unfortunately unable to accept any responsibility for personal possessions brought into or left on the premises.
7. Public Liability and Additional charges
All organisations using the Centre are required to have their own public liability insurance. A sum for reasonable clearing up and wear and tear after events is included in the price of hire. However in the event of excessive cleaning or unreasonable damage (particularly deliberate acts such as graffiti or vandalism) additional charges will be made to cover the Centre's full cost of making good.
8. Children on the premises
Minors attending the St Thomas Centre must be supervised by a responsible adult at all times
9. Excessive noise or disturbance
The St Thomas Centre is also a base for office workers and any event that might cause a disturbance to those workers for any reason must be notified and specifically agreed beforehand. Failure to do so will result in the event being stopped. This particularly refers to the playing of loud music or creating loud noise.
10. Covid-19 risk assessment
The St Thomas Centre reviews and updates its risk assessment regularly to reflect the latest Government guidance in relation to Covid-19. However, all organisations using the centre are expected to undertake their own risk assessment.
