Training and conference cancellation policies

Training cancellation policy

If you are unable to attend the course you are booked on, you may substitute, by prior arrangement and after notifying us via email (learning@nspcc.org.uk), someone else from your organisation on one occasion.

If you are unable to attend, and not in a position to substitute your place to another person then the following charges will apply:

Cancellation charges - training courses:

  • 16-12 weeks before the course: 25% of the fee
  • 12-8 weeks before the course:  50% of the fee
  • 8-2 weeks before the course: 75% of the fee
  • Less than 14 days before the course: 100% of the fee.

Please note that full payment is required for non-attendance on a booking that has been transferred.

Please remember that the NSPCC is a registered charity and these circumstances will have a significant impact on our work. We're extremely grateful for your continued support and look forward to meeting your future training requirements.

If you are unable to attend, and cannot or do not wish to give the place to someone else in your organisation, we may accept the fee paid as payment towards a place on the same or another conference that takes place within 12 months following the originally booked event.

Such a transfer will be on condition that we are informed in writing of your intentions four weeks prior to the originally booked event. Bookings can only be transferred once.

If you are unable to attend, and not in a position either to transfer your place to another person or to another event, then the following charges will apply:

Cancellation charges - conferences

  • 12-6 weeks before the conference: 25% of the fee
  • 6 weeks before the conference:  No refunds available but name of delegate can be transferred

Please note that full payment is required for non-attendance on a booking that has been transferred.
