Childcare
AIDS 2010 offers a free childcare service, called KIDS’ CORNER, for children between the ages of two and 10 years. The childcare facility is located in-house at the conference venue. It offers 20 places, which will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. 20 places are usually sufficient to match the demand at AIDS conferences. However, the organisers will do their best to find alternative solutions should the number of requests exceed the availability.
To book a place at Kids’ Corner, fill in the form and return it to Wiener Kinderfreunde by 18 June 2010.

AIDS 2010 does not offer an in-house childcare facility for children over 10 years of age, but there are many options for childcare, as well as summer camps, in Vienna. A list of these options is available
here. The list will be updated with new information on a regular basis. For registration, detailed information and prices, please contact the provider that you feel best matches your needs directly.

Kids' Corner Terms & Conditions
Childcare will take place at Kids’ Corner in the conference venue, close to the skills building rooms. Kids’ Corner is a child-friendly room equipped with toys and toilet facilities and has access to a small garden.
Childcare is provided by English-speaking educationists employed by Wiener Kinderfreunde, a non-profit organization that has been the largest private operator of nurseries, crèches and afternoon care for schoolchildren in Vienna for more than 30 years. A maximum of 20 children, between the ages of two and 10 years, can be taken care of at a time.
Childcare at Kids’ Corner is a free service provided by the International AIDS Conference.
Registration for Kids’ Corner is obligatory and must be done no later than
18 June 2010. Please fill in
this form and send it to
. A place for your child will be guaranteed only when you receive a
written positive confirmation from “Wiener Kinderfreunde”. Once you receive a positive confirmation, you must register your child at the conference as an Accompanying Child. Children without an Accompanying Child badge will not be given access to the conference area, and therefore will not have access to Kids’ Corner.
Opening Hours
Kids’ Corner opens during the conference from 08:00 until 18:30 from Sunday, 18 July, to Friday, 23 July.
Programme
Kids’ Corner will offer a variety of activities for children, including games, drawing and handicrafts. The well-equipped and secure outdoor garden provides further space to play, weather permitting.
Food and Meals
No food will be provided, but water, tea and juice are available at no cost. Meals have to be organized by parents. Parents can leave lunch boxes, snacks and drinks for their children at Kids’ Corner.
Health Insurance
Each child at Kids’ Corner
must be covered by a health insurance that is valid in Austria. If you do not have health insurance and are unable to obtain sufficient coverage from an insurer in your own country, you can buy health insurance for the duration of the conference online on the registration form when registering your child as an Accompanying Child.
Children who are physically injured due to an accident during an activity supervised by the Wiener Kinderfreunde are also insured. Insurance only covers costs that are not accepted by conventional medical insurance. However compensation for pain and suffering, as well as repatriation costs to respective home countries, is not covered.
Liability Insurance
As soon as a child is handed over to a custodian of the Wiener Kinderfreunde, the child is covered with liability and accident insurance, which comes into effect if children cause damage to a third party (whether intentionally or not) during a supervised activity (for example, a child shoots a ball into a windowpane, or a child is pushed by others and his or her glasses fall and break). The insurance does not cover damage caused to personal belongings by the child’s own carelessness or negligence (for example, a child stumbles and shatters his spectacles, or a child damages her own clothes), loss of personal belongings, and theft of valuable belongings.
