LWDP Short Courses Terms and Conditions:

Criteria

LWDP short courses are available to support the independent care sector within the LCC boundaries. Please note that Blackburn with Darwin and Blackpool, who are in themselves Unitary Authorities, are therefore outside these boundaries. Since December 2009, the LWDP has been unable to subsidise courses for those providing children’s services. However, in exceptional circumstances and where there are places available after the cut-off date, places may be offered at the full course cost to those working in a direct caring role, but unable to meet one or other funding criteria.

Payment

Please send the full course fee at the time of booking and in advance of the course date. Currently you can pay on line, by BACS or cheque. Your place will be confirmed and joining instructions sent out to you at least 3 days prior to the course start date.

If a place is requested to join a course which is fully booked, delegates may be offered an alternative place on a future course of the same title or similar content or elect to have a full refund.

Cancellations

A booking is termed confirmed once a course booking form or written confirmation has been received. In the event of receiving a request to cancel a confirmed booking the following terms will apply:
