To cancel your place less than 6 days before the course date, you must email us at oscb.training@oxfordshire.gov.uk There will be a late cancellation charge made of £50 unless you are able to substitute another practitioner to take your place.
Non – Attendance / Late Arrival / Late cancellations will incur a £50 charge
- An invoice will be generated and sent to the line manager or finance team
- The cost centre for OCC colleagues will be charged automatically for non-attendance
- Payment terms for non-attendance charges will be 14 days from receipt of invoice
- If a delegate misses 15 or more minutes of a face to face or online course, they will be marked as absent, and a £50 charge will be made
Unforeseen events / exceptional circumstances
We understand that unforeseen events/exceptional circumstances (including adverse weather conditions) can lead to cancellation or non-attendance; in which case, the OSCB may consider a waiver of the non-attendance fee. You must notify us by emailing oscb.training@oxfordshire.gov.uk as early as possible. The OSCB Business Unit will use their discretion in deciding whether a charge will apply.
Please be aware that delegate sickness, or sickness of a dependent (including children), loss of internet connection and/or failure to access an online webinar delivery will not be viewed as exceptional circumstance and a non-attendance fee will still be payable.
Training cancelled by OSCB
Due to unforeseen circumstances, such as trainer illness or adverse weather conditions, the OSCB may be required on rare occasions, to cancel training with limited notice. If this occurs, the OSCB will not be held accountable for costs associated with the cancelled course, such as cancellation fees or related costs of releasing staff to attend courses or travel expenses.
