Staff who do not cancel and do not attend training will be subject to a ‘no-show’ fee of £150 for a full day and £75 for a half day. We understand that emergencies do happen and can prevent you from attending training as planned, in this case please cancel your place as soon as possible to avoid any fees and to open the space up for another interested staff member. In exceptional circumstances, these fees may be waived on a case-by-case basis. Please contact GSCP@royalgreenwich.gov.uk to discuss with your line manager copied in.

Remember to seek approval from your line manager prior to booking onto any upcoming training as this can help you to prioritise your attendance but also in the event of unexpected absence, they are aware of the need to cancel your place.

Learners are expected to attend the whole course. Leaving early is not an acceptable practice, and your certificate may be withheld. 

Private / Independent organisations are subject to fees to attend training, this will be £150 for a full day and £75 for a half day.

Evaluations and Certification

All delegates are required to complete a post course evaluation. Delegates need to log into their learning account, complete the evaluation of the learning session, which then releases their certificate. Once evaluation is complete and certification has been obtained, the certificate will remain on the learning account. Delegates will be able to access the certificate at any time, to enable printing or download. On occasion, there may be a further Post Event Stage Two Evaluation, to measure impact of practice. This is usually sent at 3 months post course.
