Application Form to join our virtual sessions

1. To have a current registration with Daniel’s Den - if you haven’t completed a Registration Form since September 2019 please complete a form via our website. (If you are not sure, please complete another form to ensure your attendance.)
2. To download Zoom before the meeting and at the start of the meeting, either click on the link that will be sent to me before my first meeting or enter the meeting ID. I will then use the password to join the meeting.
3. Not to share the meeting details with anyone. These meetings are only open for registered families, if a friend or family member would like to join, please ask them to register first through our website, otherwise they will not be admitted to the meeting.
4. When joining the meeting, I will use my first name/preferred name and not a nickname/generic word. i.e. Jo Gordon will use Jo and not FunnyBunnysMum

5. We may experience technical difficulties in the meeting, such as freezing/the internet not working at times. It may also be harder to hear or understand what other people are saying, so please be patient.
6. If the meeting gets busy, we may ask you to put your settings on mute. This will help prevent background noise or everyone talking at once so everyone can hear more easily. The host of the meeting, may also need to put everyone on mute if important information is being shared.
7. If two or more family members live in the same household, some things to consider – either sharing the same device or using separate devices is fine but if using separate devices, please base yourselves in different rooms if possible, otherwise the sound is distorted and there is a lot of feedback if you are in the same room.
8. There are reaction buttons – a ‘thumbs-up’ and a ‘clap’ emoji – we suggest you use the thumbs-up emoji if you agree with what is being said. We can also use the clap emoji as a hands-up instead – for example: use this emoji if you would like to say something and everyone can then see that you are trying to talk. This should hopefully save everyone talking over everyone else if we have busy meetings.
9. Be aware of your surroundings. There is a story about someone being on a conference call and they could hear someone going to the toilet (true story).

10. As always, please be respectful of each other and our Daniel’s Den volunteers.
11. As you would in a regular Daniel’s Den session, please use kind language and be prepared to listen to others.
12. DO NOT record or take photos of anything without others consent.
13. Please do not share any other media throughout this digital platform.
14. Timings – The sessions do time out automatically, so although you are welcome to join anytime, once the scheduled time has finished it will end whether we have all said goodbye or not.
