Updated policy on children at the convention

If you plan to bring kids 12 and under, I would like to direct your attention to our [[Policies]] page for our updated policy on children attending U-Con.  Parents and guardians, please familiarize yourself with these new rules.

The main change we want to stress regards our rules on accompaniment.  Children 6 and under must be accompanied by a caregiver at all times. Children 12 and under must have a caregiver on-site at all times. Children 12 and under may participate in events at the discretion of the gamemaster. Children who are not participating in events are not required to have a badge.  Please refer to the age guidelines provided with each event entry.

In addition, it is very important that caregivers check with the gamemaster at the start of an event when their child is participating.  Caregivers must stay with the child unless explicit arrangements are made.  Even if such arrangements are made, if you do choose to separate yourself from your child you do so at your own risk.  Neither U-Con, nor any U-Con volunteer, gamemaster, staff member, or attendee other than the parent or guardian is responsible for children who attend.

Finally, please provide emergency contact information on the back of a badge for any minor 17 or under.

The full version of the policy on children and minors at U-Con is available on our [[Policies]] page.
