Please note this training is only for people who either live or work within Cambridgeshire and Peterborough

This is a two day course and due to high demand for places participants are required to attend both days in full. There can be no exceptions to this, so please ensure that you make any travel/childcare etc. arrangements with this in mind. Please also ensure that you are not managing a duty phone or similar, as there will only be access to mobile phones during the breaks and lunch hour.

Failure to attend both days means you will not complete the training.

For the health and wellbeing of everyone attending the training, we ask if possible that everyone attending does a lateral flow test either the night before or that morning. We will ask that masks are worn in all public areas and when moving around the training room unless exempt, during the training whilst seated the wearing of masks is optional.

This is a fully funded course and failure to attend all sessions will result in a £40.00 cancellation charge.
