Terms and Conditions for Participating Organisations

By registering as a user of the Faith in Action Award website, you will have access to resources from CYMFed and also shared resources from other organisations running the Faith in Action Award. However, all Participating Organisations must be registered with an Awarding Authority, usually a diocese. Awarding Authorities undertake training from CYMFed in running the award effectively and safely. Awarding Authorities then disseminate information from CYMFed and give you the support and resources you need to run the Award locally. Awarding Authorities also ensure the integrity of the Award is preserved. The use of CYMFed Faith in Action Award resources for unregistered Participating Organisations is not permitted.

Participating Organisations are asked to agree to the following terms and conditions in using the Faith in Action Award website. CYMFed reserves the right to remove user privileges if users are not registered with an Awarding Authority, following the mandatory requirements of the Faith in Action Award and/or are deemed to be using this website inappropriately.
