| When
to Apply |
|
We appreciate early applications, and of course that makes it more likely that the application will be successful. In particular, we can provide our best service to you if places are booked at least two weeks before any event.
If you are giving us less than two week’s notice of an applicant, please first phone our Finance Section (020 8726 7783) to check the status, date and availability of the activity. As soon as the Finance section receives applications, they are processed and confirmation is then sent to the school CPD co-ordinator the following Friday. If you have not received a confirmation, please phone to check the status of the booking rather than just turn up in hope.
We regret that for practical reasons we may have to turn away at the door those who have not booked and secured a place.

| Applications
: Summary to CPD Co-ordinators |
|
As last year, we
will be sending the weekly confirmation letter of application results to co-ordinators. It
is essential that co-ordinators convey this information to their staff as soon as
possible. |
| |
| Leon House Evacuation Procedure |
|
We have now installed ‘EVAC’ chairs which require trained staff. It is therefore essential that you tell us well in advance if any participant would be unable to leave in the usual way by a staircase in an emergency. |
|
|
| Disability |
|
If you have a disability that entails special requirements (eg hearing loop), please write or phone to make your requirements clear. (Contact : Finance Section or Activity Organiser – there is also the opportunity to indicate on the application form if you have a disability.) |
| |
| ‘Selective
Criteria’ Activities |
|
There are very few of these and the course details will make it clear why this is necessary. All applications for activities which have special criteria will be placed ‘on hold’ initially, as the organiser will make the final decision on who attends. In this case, applicants may not be told of their status until nearer the date of the activity. |
| |
| Unsuccessful
Applications and Oversubscribed Activities |
|
Staff who are unsuccessful in gaining a place on a particular activity will be notified through their co-ordinator via the weekly confirmation letter. When activities are over-subscribed, they may be repeated, in which case all applications on ‘reserve’ will automatically be transferred to the repeat activity. |
| |
| Replacement
Applicants |
|
If a place on an activity becomes available at short notice, and there is a reserve list, applicants will be contacted by telephone, in priority order, to see if they are available to attend. |
