How far do you travel?
We are based in Herefordshire and most of our work is local but we are willing to travel across the UK and abroad if required. We try to keep our travel and overnight costs as low as possible, only charging what it costs us. If this is not feasible for you, please consider purchasing our online workshops for teaching staff.
How many can attend?
All staff from one school, including head teachers, admin staff and lunchtime supervisors are welcome and encouraged to attend. Small schools of 15 teaching staff or less are welcome to join with another small school to share the cost. If you are booking as a Multi Academy Trust or an Outreach Base for all of your schools, then numbers are limited to 50.
How do we book?
Call Cathy directly on 07736000979 or email her cathy@dyspraxiahelp.org.uk to discuss your training requirements.
What if we need to cancel?
Things happen, OFSTED calls! If there are unavoidable reasons for a cancellation we will reschedule. Cancellation charges are not made unless travel costs have already been incurred by the charity.
What is the money used for?
ALL the money raised from our training is used by our charity, so we can continue to support children and families affected by dyspraxia/DCD
