CANCELLATION and REFUND POLICY

Regional Programs
Members: If a registrant cannot attend a workshop, they must notify Safeguards' office at least 3 working days prior to the workshop. People canceling after that and /or not attending a workshop will be charged a cancellation fee of $100.00 CDN. Substitutions may be made, however registrants must notify Safeguards as early as possible.
Non-Members: Cancellations received up to 3 working days prior to the workshop are refundable, minus a $40.00 CDN registration service charge. Registrants who do not cancel and /or do not attend are responsible for the full fee. Substitutions may be made, however registrants must notify Safeguards as early as possible.

Therapeutic Crisis Intervention
Members and Non-members: For cancellations made 11-30 days in advance, we will make every effort to fill the vacancy with another applicant and refund the registration fee minus $50 CDN service charge. If we cannot find a replacement, we will refund only half of your registration fee. No refunds will be given with less than 10 days notice. Cancellation must be submitted in writing. Substitutions are permitted.

RespiteTraining                                                                                                  A person has a six month window of time to access the course once registered. In 2007 Safeguards is only charging a $20 CDN administrative fee which is the portion that would be retained if a person should cancel, therefore there is no reimbursement for a cancellation during this period. 

Cancellation by Safeguards                                                                  Safeguards makes every attempt to ensure that courses run. We reserve the right to change arrangements or cancel courses. We will notify participants as soon as possible of any changes and refund registration fees if applicable.

CONFIRMATION POLICY

For Classroom Training: Confirmation will be issued by Safeguards Training upon receipt of registration (and payment if required).

For Online Training: A confirmation and PIN to access the course will be emailed upon receipt of registration and confirmation of payment.
