***Please note that we require a minimum of 48 hours notice if you are unable to attend this course. We are unable to offer spaces to other colleagues after late cancellations, therefore non-attendance is a cost to the department and takes the opportunity from other colleagues. Please note that we will be notifying line mangers for “no-shows” in order to prevent this. ***
