BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS

Unique Ways is a small charity and our programme of training courses which we provide free of charge to parent carers have a significant cost to us. To secure a place you will be required to pay a £5.00 refundable deposit for all of our training courses when booking. Upon completion of the course, this will be refunded to you in full. Any retained fees will contribute to deposit and refund processing and administration costs.

All our Training Courses need a minimum of 8 parent carers to go ahead.

Unfortunately, we have experienced a high volume of parent carers signing up for our courses and then not attending. We understand that there will be genuine reasons why you cannot attend a course, or all sessions of a course, you signed up for, but we ask that you please advise us in advance if possible as a courtesy to other parent carers who are on the waiting list, otherwise, you are preventing other parent carers getting on the course.

Refunds are available up to 7 days before the beginning of the course. Refunds within 7 days will be at Unique Ways discretion. By cancelling your place and receiving your refund, you will open up a place for another parent carer.

“…what an absolute invaluable course the insiders guide has been. I’ve come to the end of my 6 week journey and it’s honestly been the best decision to join. Not only have I gained more information and knowledge but I have since gained new friendships who understand me and our situations albeit all different but very much the same on an understanding level. If anyone is indecisive about joining the course I will wholeheartedly say they should join! Both trainers have been amazing, caring, understanding and positive throughout. ” Parent carer quote from IG: NDP 2021
