Invoices

Invoices are normally requested after the training course or conference has taken place. Please note that training or conferences during the month of March we do invoice upfront due to end of financial year. This does not affect your terms and conditions or cancellation rights.

Invoices are issued in one of two ways:

  1. via the Children’s Services Portal (CSP)
  2. via email to the main email address given, therefore it is essential that these emails are not sent to junk or spam folders

Further information regarding invoices, disputes and payment are detailed below.

Cancellations

All cancellations must be made on CPD online.

If you wish to supply additional information in support of your cancellation, then please email the relevant team.

Cancellation charge and reason:

  • no cancellation charge applied = when the cancellation is made with 14 days or more notice
  • no cancellation charge applied = under extreme circumstances i.e., Ofsted, bereavement, hospitalisation, and we ask that you inform us immediately
  • no cancellation charge applied = due to COVID-19 and variants, which has meant staff have had to be re-deployed to ensure the school or setting can open and run
  • full course fee applied = when the cancellation is made within 0 to 13 days of the start date of the course (event) and there is no take up from waiting list
  • full course fee applied = on return of the register where delegates did not attend, and no cancellation was made
