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

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