14. Please read the following VSPAC ACRO Safety Protocol: Students’ safety is paramount, and the Acro teacher should not be restricted from spotting any Acro student if necessary, to protect the student from injury. While spotting remains an important element to student safety, we will consider alternative teaching methods that align with social distancing protocols during COVID-19. I am aware that the Acro teacher will put her hands on my child in order to help her/him with an acrobatic move, so they are protected from getting injured. (Social distancing during spotting of stunts will be carefully followed as best as can be but not guaranteed.) As with any activity, injuries can still occur at any point regardless if the teacher is spotting the child or not.  By signing this document, I give full consent to the Acro teacher to spot my child as per the new Acro Protocol and I assume all risks involved by my child taking Acro classes.
