Torbay and Devon Safeguarding Adults Partnership cancellation policy

Where a person needs to cancel their place on a training course this may be done verbally but must be followed up in writing via email to safeguardingadultstraining-mailbox@devon.gov.uk confirming the date and location of the training course to be cancelled.

In the event of cancellation in writing of less than the 21 calendar days’ notice from the training delivery date, the full cancellation cost per place basis incurred by TDSAP is due. Even if the training is fully funded by TDSAP, we still reserve the right to charge as non-attendance prevents someone else from attending.

No cancellation charge will be applied in the event of cancellation in writing of 22 calendar days’ notice or more from the training delivery date.
