Swindon Multi Agency Training - Application Procedures

Applications should be made in the first instance via your manager.

Confirmation emails will be sent out 6 weeks before the course. Letters will only be sent out if email is not available. You will be contacted in instances where there are no available places on the course date of your choice and offered alternative dates.

If you have not been contacted four weeks before the course date you have applied for please contact Tracey Brown (01793 465756) who can advise you further.

Multi Agency Fees

The Multi Agency Training courses are fully subsidised. Which means that you do not have to pay for the courses.

However, due to the way in which the courses are funded, non-attendance, late cancellation and people who leave early will be charged. Rates vary from £35 to £75 per day.

Multi Agency Cancellation Policy

A course applicant may withdraw without penalty subject to a minimum notice of 10 working days be given to the training administrator Tracey Brown (Tel 01793 465756 AND email). Less notice than this will result in a cancellation charge being applied. Cancellation charges are £75 per whole day’s training.

Multi Agency Attendance

Submitting an application form does not guarantee you a place on a course.

Given the level of over-subscription and the importance of the issues covered in the courses for both staff and the welfare of children, your full attendance on the course will be required. Timings are strictly adhered to during the training so if you cannot attend the full course for any reason we would request that you re-apply for a more suitable date.

When your manager signs the application form they are agreeing to releasing you for the full day(s) training programme.

Multi Agency Certificates & Evaluation

All participants who complete each course will be awarded a Certificate and will be expected to complete an evaluation form at the end of the training and three months after the training has been completed.

Certificates will not be awarded to participants who fail to attend the whole of the course.

Multi Agency Commissioned Training

The co-ordinators may consider providing single agency training in exceptional circumstances. If your agency wishes to buy in training on this basis there will be a charge of £100.00 per hour. Please contact the Multi Agency Training Co-ordinators on 01793 465756.
