PTSD, Trauma & Beyond: The Essentials Course

• If paying the Self-Funded Fee you must pay at the Time of Booking by Credit Card, Debit Card or BACS.
• If we Invoice Your Organisation (Employer) you must pay the Organisation Funded rate and the payment must be made by Organisational Credit Card, Debit Card or BACs within 30 days. Payment sent independently of the website booking must state Invoice Number and delegate name/contact details.
• When a booking is made it is the delegate’s responsibility to ensure payment is made in full or to cancel within the terms below. If your organisation does not make the payment, the liability for payment remains with the delegate unless the booking is cancelled within the terms below. If a delegate does not attend a booked event, the organisation will still be charged unless a booking is cancelled within the terms below.
• Cancellation and non-attendance policy. A refund will be given for all cancellations requested more than 30 days before the event takes place. An administration charge of £15 will be made for all such cancellations. Any cancellation or non-attendance made less than 30 days before the booked event takes place will not receive a refund. Cancellation requests must be made 30 days prior to an event.
• Delegate Substitution policy. The delegate can change the name on the booking in writing. We are happy to transfer places to other delegates with prior agreement, provided that payment has been received and no later than 3 days before the workshop. 
• Workshops cannot be shared under any circumstances.
• Dr Heather Sequeira will not be liable for any failure to provide or delay in the provision of services. This includes travel or accommodation fees or any other expenditure or any other loss of income.Participants are advised not to book non-refundable travel or accommodation. In the unlikely event that we have to cancel a complete workshop, Dr Heather Sequeira will refund any fees already received, but will not be liable for any other costs or loss of income that may have been incurred. Please make sure any transportation or hotel bookings are insured.
• There may be circumstances (e.g. illness or accident at short notice) when this is not possible to provide the simulated client aspect of this training. Dr Heather Sequeira will not be liable for failure to provide this aspect of the service. If the simulated client aspect is unable to be provided on the day of training, alternative clinically relevant teaching will be offered in place. In this eventuality, delegates will be given the option to access the simulated client aspect of training on another occasion without charge and for which they will receive a CPD certificate of attendance. Dr Heather Sequeira will not be liable for any additional costs incurred.
• This Booking constitutes a legally binding contract. It may be necessary for reasons beyond the control of Dr Heather Sequeira to change the content and timing of the programme. In the unlikely event of the whole programme being cancelled Dr Heather Sequeira will automatically make a full refund of the fee paid but disclaim any further liability.
• By providing the personal information on the application form you are agreeing to Dr Heather Sequeira and associate organisations processing and holding your information. The e-mail address the delegate has provided may be used by Dr Heather Sequeira to communicate matters relating to current and future workshops. 
• Level of Competence Required: Different workshops have different competency requirements. Please note these and discuss your level of competency and qualification with us if you are unsure. Apart from any preliminary level workshops, workshops are directed to trained mental health practitioners who are familiar with the fundamental principles of CBT. Some practitioners will have intermediate or advanced level skills in (although this is not a pre-requisite for attendance). CBT knowledge and skills are not required for the preliminary level workshops.
• Attendees are required to have a membership of a Mental Health Professional and or Regulatory Body or be in training for a recognised mental health qualification (for specific exceptions see point 14).
• Whether workshop attendees can work clinically with clients after completion of this workshop will depend on their professional qualifications and only under the supervision of a BABCP Cognitive Behavioural therapist or HPCP Registered psychologist who is competent to practice CBT. It is the delegates supervisor who confirms that they are competent to practice in any specific area. Attendance of this workshop aims to facilitate skills and knowledge in this area but cannot confirm that a person is competent to practice. Although highly informative, none of workshops confer a formal qualification or assurance of competence in any aspect of psychological therapy since we are unable to assess attendee competency within the training event.
• In specific circumstances that have been discussed directly with Dr Heather Sequeira, PhD students, psychology graduates or other individuals without appropriate professional qualification or professional background can attend for "research interest purposes only". You will need to discuss this with me before booking and understand that this workshop will not prepare you to work clinically with clients.
• Photography & Recording consent for adults: The delegate acknowledges that on occasions Heather Sequeira and staff may record images and audio content of events and take photography. Images and audio may be used on websites, on social media or in another public forum for promotional purposes. The delegate agrees that such material may be reproduced for those purposes. The delegate must inform Dr Heather Sequeira in writing if they do not want to be shown in these images or audio recordings.
• Respect of Confidential Material; Workshops contain clinical material. This is always anonymised but delegates are none the less reminded to respect confidentiality and to anonymise any clinical material that they bring to the workshops.
• Safeguarding and limits of confidentiality: Just as in therapy sessions, workshop sessions will be treated as confidential, with the following exceptions. As a Chartered and Registered Psychologist I am required to seek supervision by my professional body (The British Psychological Society) and regulatory body (HPCP) as a means of ensuring good practice. I have a statutory obligation to break confidentiality under rare circumstances, namely, if I believe that a person is of danger to themselves or to others (under the Mental Health Act, 2001) or if I believe that a child is at actual risk of physical or sexual abuse (The Children Act, Section 47, 1989).
• The booking serves as a contract between the purchaser and Dr Heather Sequeira.
