Data protection
Information submitted to us will be stored and processed electronically for the purposes of delivering membership services, supplying information and to enable statistical analysis. Data may be passed to other parts of the organisation, our partners or contractors operating on our behalf to enable this to take place.
Tailored courses
We are able to tailor courses to suit your needs, and would be happy to discuss any elements of the course you would like adapted. A full course tailoring service is available at an additional cost.
Team training courses can accommodate up 16 delegates, excluding First Aid which can hold up to 12. Exceptions can sometimes be made if discussed before the course and are solely at the discretion of Homeless Link. This may incur an additional charge, particularly if an extra facilitator is needed.
Additional expenses
Quoted fees do not include the travel, subsistence and overnight costs (where necessary) incurred by the trainer. You will be responsible for covering these costs in addition to the training course fee. Homeless Link can provide you with a cost estimate prior to booking so there are no surprises at the time of invoicing.
