Please note
LSAB training events are free of charge to delegates, but are a very valuable resource that take a lot of time, (public) money and effort to arrange. These are often oversubscribed too, meaning that ‘drop outs’ prevent another person from attending.
Delegates should not book onto an event unless they can absolutely commit to attending, and if you need to drop out you should inform us by email as soon as possible so that a replacement can be considered.
If you do not attend and do not let us know in advance we will ask your manager for an explanation, and we will reserve the right to refuse future bookings for repeated ‘no shows’.
