By using this site to access training and professional development or any events offered by the Local Authority you are agreeing to all terms and conditions associated with event/ course places including all booking, charging and cancellation policies.
The information you provide will be stored electronically and used by Integra where appropriate for administration and statistical purposes in compliance with the 1998 Data Protection Act.
Schools/settings/organisations are offered two payment options to attend events.
Schools/settings and other organisations can sign up to a service level agreement which allows a discounted rate per event, known as the 'subscription cost'.
To discuss a service level agreement please contact us at ststraining@southglos.gov.uk or call on 01454 863183.
The fee per person attending an event on a pay-as-you-go basis is included in the detail for each event, called the 'non subscription cost'.
Fees apply to delegates attending events from individuals/ schools/ settings/ organisations who do not subscribe to a service level agreement (including: Non SLA schools, Childminders, Early Years and Out of School settings, private, voluntary providers)
Pay-as-you-go customers will be charged after the event.
Applications can be made online either by an individual, a line manager, CPD leader or other nominated authorising colleague.
Bookings for colleagues within a school/setting will usually require authorisation by a line manager/CPD leader or other authorising colleague within the organisation. This can be done via the online system.
Places are allocated on a first come first served basis. Integra reserves the right to limit places in certain cases e.g. where specific numbers of places are available per school/setting/organisation or a mix of agencies is required for a multi agency event.
It is essential that delegates pre-book places. We reserve the right to refuse entrance to anyone who arrives for a course but has not pre-booked and received confirmation of a place. We cannot guarantee a space will be available or to have made the necessary preparations for delegates who turn up without confirmed places. In the case of participants who attend an event without prior registration, we may make an additional charge amounting to 20% of the cost of a delegate place.
If a course is full, delegates may be put onto the waiting list and will receive an email to that effect.
If spaces become available delegates will be allocated a space on a first come first served basis and will receive an email to confirm their place.
If a delegate is unable to attend for any reason, cancellation must be received via ststraining@southglos.gov.uk more than four working days before the course date. This will give time to reallocate the space to someone on the waiting list. If a cancellation notification is not received with four days notice your school/setting/organisation will be liable for full costs.
If your school/setting/organisation is sending another person to take the place of a colleague, you must substitute the new name into the existing booking online. This is to ensure all appropriate administration is completed and a correct CPD record is kept for each delegate.
It is expected that delegates who sign up for multi-part events attend all sessions. Failure to do so may result in a charge being levied.
If a delegate fails to attend a free/centrally funded event or one that is part of a pre paid subscription package, a charge of £30 per half day/ twilight will be applied to cover venue, refreshment and administration costs.
Non-attendance on the day will incur full delegate fees except in exceptional circumstances.
If a delegate attends a course/session/conference without a booking being made via CPD Online, their establishment will be charged the course fee, regardless of appropriate authorisation not having been received.
We reserve the right to change any personnel, dates, times and venues where a delivery issue has arisen, to enable an event to go ahead. Delegates will be notified in advance.
No event will be cancelled except where it is impossible to run, for example:
Wherever possible, events that do not go ahead due to the above reasons will be rescheduled.
Course directors and commissioners of all events are senior officers, advisers and consultants. The programme is planned by a team of professionals with appropriate national, local and specialist knowledge, expertise and accreditation. Event facilitators and trainers are school improvement professionals; education advisers and LA officers; leading practitioners from schools and settings; further and higher education providers (e.g. local colleges, universities); well-regarded external consultants; nationally and internationally recognised educationalists, speakers, authors and other accredited providers.
We are committed to providing our clients with excellent professional development, training and learning experiences.
As a participant on our programmes, you can expect:
As part of our quality assurance we may from time to time, observe part/all of an event and will give feedback to the Provider from any such observations.
As our events are constantly updated and improved, it may be necessary for us to alter the content of the event without prior notice.
If you are not satisfied with our service in any way, email ststraining@southglos.gov.uk
