Reimbursement
Reimbursement
Workshop reimbursements can only be claimed by non-commercial workshop leaders (i.e. workshops that are not sponsored).
Non-commercial workshop leaders
Non-commercial workshop leaders
Those working independently can receive a FREE day pass to attend other workshops on the same day as their own (only one free pass per workshop can be provided).
You can also claim travel expenses of up to £100.
These reimbursements are per workshop and NOT per workshop leader.
Commercial organisations
Commercial organisations
Those representing a commercial organisation such as a publisher, awarding body or training organisation will not be entitled to claim a fee and must pay £150 to deliver a session if it is approved.
Commercial workshop leaders are welcome to attend the full conference provided that they purchase a delegate pass for the day(s) that they attend, including the day of their workshop.
Take advantage of our early booking rates before the end of May.
Please note: NATECLA is a registered charity and, as a result, must limit its expenses accordingly.
Cancellation
Cancellation
It is difficult to predict how popular a workshop will be. Therefore, we reserve the right – although we try not to exercise it – to cancel a workshop because of low numbers, a week before the conference. This would only happen after consultation with the leader(s).
If you have any questions, please contact National Centre at info@natecla.org.uk.
