Training booking Terms and Conditions

In order to keep our training cost effective and accessible, we have certain booking terms and conditions. Please ensure that you have read and understood these before booking on to any of our online courses, face-to-face sessions or bespoke training.

Online webinars – up to 1.5 hours

All our webinars are non-refundable
Each ticket is for individual entry to the webinar.
Out of courtesy to all attendees, our aim is for our courses to start on time. Unless there are mitigating circumstances such as technical issues at our end, or we have agreed late admittance with you in advance, we are unable to admit latecomers if you are more than 10 minutes late as this can be disruptive for other participants and the trainer. Late attendance is classed as a cancellation and is non-refundable.

Online virtual training sessions 3-hours

We will accept cancellation of bookings up to five working days before the course. However, no refund or credit will be given for bookings cancelled less than five days before the course, or for non-attendance. The refund will be for the course amount less the Eventbrite booking fee.

All late attendance will be classed as a cancellation and will therefore be non-refundable.
Please check your Zoom access and IT settings in advance of the event as we cannot accept late entries. Full details about technical requirements can be found on our FAQs page. We cannot accept any responsibility for technical issues that are a result of your own access issues such as poor Wi-Fi or Zoom being blocked within your workplace so please check in advance.
Each ticket is for individual entry to the training course. Certificates of attendance will be provided for each individual that attends and completes the full training.
To ensure a mixed group of participants, a maximum of only five individuals from the same organisation may attend each training event.

Study days and conferences

We will accept cancellation of bookings for all study days up to 28 days in advance, however a £25 administration fee will be charged. No refund or credit will be given for bookings cancelled less than 28 days before the course or for non-attendance.
All fees must be paid before the date of the course.
We reserve the right to change the venue, but alternative venues will be in the local area and appropriate for the purposes of the training.
Conference booking fees are non refundable.

Cancellations by Child Bereavement UK

In the unlikely event that it is necessary for Child Bereavement UK to cancel a course, due to low numbers or other unforeseen reasons, notice will be given as soon as possible. Rescheduling options will be provided if possible, or if a refund is preferred, a full refund will be sent to the details provided upon registration. Child Bereavement UK is not responsible for any additional expenses incurred by individuals or organisations.

Bespoke training

All bespoke training agreed directly with an organisation will be confirmed in writing before the event and agreed by both parties. A 25% deposit will be invoiced prior to the event. This deposit will be returned in the unlikely event that Child Bereavement UK has to cancel the event but will not be refunded should the organisation cancel.
Child Bereavement UK will work with the organisation to ensure that the dates are suitable but it is the responsibility of the commissioning organisation to fill the course. In the event that there are fewer than six attendees then we will work with the organisation to find an alternative date, but in the event that this is not possible the training event will be cancelled.
The cost of the training includes an e-pack of key course slides and any relevant materials. This is sent out after the training along with the certificates. Child Bereavement UK will also carry out an evaluation and share this with the organisation.
Recording of the training is forbidden unless agreed in advance.
All training is carried out on the Child Bereavement UK Zoom platform or face to face unless agreed otherwise.
Travel expenses will be agreed before the event and are invoiced separately after the event.

Telling a child that someone has died

It is important to tell a child of any age when someone important in their lives has died, and ideally this is done by someone who is closest to them.
Supporting bereaved children and young people

Children and young people grieve just as much as adults but they show it in different ways. Find out how you can help them and more about child grieving.
Grieving for a child of any age

The agony of losing a child of any age is unparalleled. There is no age or point in time that makes it any easier. No parent expects to face the death of their child and no grandparent expects to lose their grandchild.
When a grandparent dies - the impact on children and young people

The death of a grandparent is often a child or young person’s first encounter with the death of someone important. Parents have a great deal to manage when their own parent or carer dies. There is the grief associated with their own loss, but also the reactions and responses of their children to the death of a grandparent.
Children's understanding of death at different ages

Babies and young children have no understanding of the concept of death yet, long before they are able to talk, babies are likely to react to upset and changes in their environment brought about by the absence of a significant person.
Child Bereavement UK training

Child Bereavement UK designs and delivers training for professionals in health and social care, education, the emergency services and the voluntary and corporate sectors, equipping them to provide the best possible care to bereaved families.

When your baby dies

When a baby lives only a short time or dies before birth due to miscarriage, stillbirth or a painful decision to end the pregnancy, people may assume that the loss is not important. This is simply not the case.
UK death & bereavement statistics

A parent of children under 18 dies every 22 minutes in the UK; around 23,600 a year. This equates to around 111 children being bereaved of a parent every day.
Sudden death - including accidents, suicide and homicide

Bereavement can be devastating in any situation, but a sudden death brings additional layers of shock, horror or disbelief. We can help, find out more here.
