Cancellations

We implement a cancellation charges policy in line with Council policy.

To ensure delegates attend or give due notice of cancellation we remind all applicants of the cost implications to their organisation of non-attendance. If you are unable to attend a training course on which you have been booked and do not inform the Adult Social Care Academy in writing 2 weeks prior to the course date that you will not be attending, a cancellation fee will be charged for the amount as set out below:

• The cost of half-day courses will be £50
• The cost of full day courses will be £100

If the cost of the course is more than the cancellation fee then the full cost will be charged.

Please note that non-attendance at training is monitored to ensure best use of government funding.
