Cancellation fees
IMPORTANT
Please aim to attend the training sessions you have booked to attend. If you are unable to attend please email your cancellation notice to giving more than 3 full working days’ notice.
Due to a substantial number of governors not always attending courses they have booked, we introduced cancellation fees from April 2016 to cover the costs incurred on your behalf with regards to course administration, room hire, catering and trainer fees. Fees may be waived in exceptional circumstances.
· A cancellation fee will not be charged to the school if we receive more than 3 full working days’ notice of cancellation.
· For those schools that have bought into our training SLA or support and training SLA, a reduced cancellation fee of £25 per place will be charged to the school for non-attendance or notice of cancellation for any sessions being provided within 3 full working days of the session date.
· For non-subscribing schools, the full cost of the session will be charged to the school for non-attendance or failing to provide more than 3 full working days’ notice of cancellation.
Governors’ Services may occasionally have to cancel a training session if the number of bookings is low. You will be notified by email if a training session you have booked to attend is cancelled. Please make sure your completed booking form includes an email address that you check regularly.
