If you are under 18, you should involve a parent, guardian, or responsible adult before participating, submitting material, or appearing in footage.

If you submit content, including blogs, vlogs, images, recordings, or written material, you confirm that:

• you have the right to share the material

Responsibility for Baton Walks

Participants are responsible for their own safety when taking part in any walk, recording, journey, or public activity.

Participants should follow the law, respect public and private property, avoid obstructing others, and take reasonable care when travelling or recording in public spaces.

Baton and Participation Opportunity

The baton is provided as part of the initiative to keep the process clear, visible, and consistent.

This helps ensure each journey carries the same message and remains connected to the original purpose of Counted In Your Name.

Registering interest does not guarantee that a baton, route, event, or participation opportunity will be provided.

Participation arrangements may depend on availability, location, timing, and practical considerations.
