Attendance & Cancellation

Our CPD workshops are offered free of charge, and places are limited.

By booking a place, you are helping us plan resources, venues, and facilitators. If you can no longer attend, please let us know as soon as possible so that your place can be offered to another participant.

A missed place without notice may prevent a colleague from attending and can affect our ability to run the workshop successfully.

We understand that circumstances can change, but a quick email to the Course Director is greatly appreciated and helps ensure these valuable learning opportunities remain available to everyone.
