About the training
The sessions contain practical exercises that give you the chance to practice your skills and share your experiences. For each course you attend, you will receive the appropriate certificate.
How much will it cost?
Other than where specifically mentioned, all courses are free of charge.
Cancellation/non-attendance
Delegates failing to attend a FREE course without prior notification will be charged:
- £75 for a full day
- £40 for a half day
Courses that are NOT FREE will be charged as above PLUS the full delegate fee is not refundable in any circumstances.
Delegate substitution is permitted at any time, even on the day.
No charges will be made and monies will be returned where cancellation is by the organiser.
Liability cannot be accepted for any consequential loss.
Times
Times are specified in the current Training Provision document:
All courses will begin promptly and all delegates are advised to arrive in good time.
Late arrivals will not be accepted. This will be dealt with as non-attendance and therefore, will incur charges as above. During all courses, portable communication devices must be switched off.

Staff information book
As a city council employee you need to be aware of our health and safety arrangements. This short guide has been prepared to make you aware of general health and safety arrangements and how you can play your part in keeping your workplace safe.
It is our policy to take all reasonable steps to ensure the health and safety of all persons working both on council premises and delivering council services. We will ensure that there are adequate health and safety facilities available, and that the relevant safety requirements and codes of practice are known and adhered to at all times.
All employees, however, have a responsibility for safety and if you find anything that you think is unsafe, or may become unsafe, report it to your manager. They can then take action to make it safe.
