Charges Explained
The ICB has funded the delivery of 12 Oliver McGowan Mandatory Training sessions; however, venue costs are not included within this funding. A small charge is therefore applied to cover venue hire costs only.
Cancellation Policy
If you cancel with more than 5 working days' notice, there will be no charge. If you cancel within 5 working days and we cannot fill the space, then you/your organisation may still be charged. If you do not attend then you/your organisation may be charged.
If you are unable to attend and do not cancel your place on events repeatedly - this may risk your place at future events.
