• Those aged 16 and 17 may register, however their age will be flagged on our booking system and a Youth 2000 Designated Liaison Person will contact their parent or their person with parental responsibility, to ensure that their details are allowed to be held on the Youth 2000 database, and less that they can view the content as the content will be publicly available.
• Furthermore, Youth 2000 reviews all its content. Therefore, any material that Youth 2000 feels is most appropriate for those aged over 18 will only be made available to those who register with a Date of Birth over the age of 18. All speakers have been informed of and are aware both of the Youth 2000 target age range, and also the potential age range for this mission, and speakers have agreed to make their content contributions suitable for that group.
• The views expressed by the speakers are their own, however these should be reflective of Catholic teaching. Youth 2000 is not responsible for the manner of expression, but reserves the right to not use, restrict or remove any material from its platforms that it does not wish to use, for reasons undisclosed and at any time. As Youth 2000 uses multiple speakers, any issues with content may be forwarded directly to the contributor who expressed them.
• Youth 2000 reserves the right to make content deemed fit for U18s public. For example, Youth 2000 may wish to allow television or media broadcaster to broadcasts elements of its event, or it may allow elements of the retreat (those deemed suitable) available on the Internet and social media without registration.
