Integrated Health & Social Care Training April - September 2010   

N.B. BANES PCT and B&NES Social Services are committed to supporting the training needs of the independent and voluntary sector and recognise that funding maybe scarce. They no longer charge for attendance on any of their courses. However, over the past six months this has led to an increase in last minute cancellations or non attendance on the day. They have, therefore introduced a charge for late cancellations (i.e. 5 days or less before the course takes place) or non attendance on the day. If they are unable to fill the place, the training team will invoice the relevant agency £60.00 per person per day. ½ day courses will be charged at £30.00 per person per day. They will happily take substitutions if the named person is unable to attend but please notify them so that they can amend the delegate list.
