Conditions of booking:
- We will normally only accept one application per organisation in order to recruit as wide a range of Autism Ambassadors as possible. The role of the Ambassador includes passing on what you have learned to colleagues.
- If you are from a large organisation with different departments and areas and/or you feel your organisation would benefit from more than one Ambassador, please discuss with the Scheme’s administrator before booking additional places.
- We reserve the right to cancel (and refund) any bookings of more than one Ambassador per organisation if there has not been prior agreement with the administrator.
- Tickets are non-transferable and usually non-refundable after a booking has been made. However, if you are unable to attend the day due to an emergency, we may be able to offer you a place on future training day. Please contact the administrator to discuss.
- If you move job roles, the Autism Ambassador role will stay with you.
- The Autism Ambassador scheme is only open to people who live or work in Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth or Isle of Wight.
If you require further information or have any questions, please contact the Scheme’s administrator.
