Courses will only be able to be booked through the links in the Training Directory or links that are sent out in emails.

Non Attendance

We have made a decision to continue charging for non-attendance at courses.

Many courses were full and people were missing out on training opportunities as a result of non-

attendance. Where possible we make courses in the Directory free but this is only possible if courses

run as close to full as possible We ask that when you book onto a course you:

Check this with your manager
Record the date somewhere such as a setting diary or online calendar
Include a reminder (especially if courses are booked well in advance)
Change the entry in your diary if you are informed of a change to the course.

By booking onto a course you agree to abide by this condition.

Charges for non attendance are as follows:

For non attendance on the day of a course including any part of a multi part course without informing us - a charge of £30 will be made to the setting where the person is employed.

To avoid any charges

• Cancellations can be made up to 4 hours before the course starts through your Eventbrite booking.

• Please contact Laurence to inform us if you or your staff are unable to attend a course.

• Places can be transferred to another member of staff at no charge.

• Regularly check that staff are still able to attend and send any cancellations/changes as early as possible

Laurence.mcintosh@midlothian.gov.uk

This allows places to be offered to people on the waiting list.
