ChildForum Workshops, Forums and Conferences

ChildForum reserves the right to cancel any event and all fees will be refunded. ChildForum accepts no responsibility for other costs (e.g. travel, accommodation bookings) incurred by the registrant.

No refunds will be given if a registrant for what ever reason is unable to attend the event booked.

The registrant may choose to give his/her place to someone else; and this will be accepted by ChildForum if the registrant informs us before the day of the event as to who will be his/her replacement.

ChildForum reserves the right to change the venue. If this is necessary ChildForum will undertake to email all registrants of the change of venue one week prior to the event date.  In extraordinary circumstances, such as flooding and fire at the venue, advance notification of a change of venue may not be possible.
