Chartered Institute of Fundraising Scotland reserves the right to alter course dates, venues and location where necessary without liability. We will endeavour to give the delegate as much advance notice as possible of any such change via the attendee’s email address provided at time of booking.

In the event of cancellation, where an alternative cannot be provided in respect of a specific course, a full refund will be offered.
We cannot offer refunds for cancellations due to circumstances outside our control; including adverse weather conditions, transportation issues, major incidents or industrial action. We will not be liable for any other costs incurred including (for example) travel charges or any consequential damages, even if we were advised of these costs.

Unless otherwise stated all scheduled IoF training courses include refreshments and lunch. The attendee must inform the Chartered Institute Scotland team by email at scotland@institute-of-fundraising.org.uk of any special dietary requirements. We cater for vegetarian, vegan, medically recommended and religious restrictive diets only. Please note Chartered Institute use external providers for all catering purposes and do not accept liability for any failure to meet special dietary requirements.
While we endeavour to cater for a range of dietary requirements are committed to ensuring the safety of our delegates who have any allergy to nuts, peanuts or seeds we cannot guarantee that our food does not contain traces of nuts, peanuts or seeds. Although we ask our suppliers to ensure that any foods known to contain nuts/peanuts/seeds or their derivatives are suitably labelled, it is impossible to guarantee that products believed not to contain these are 100% free from peanuts/nuts/seeds. This is due to suppliers increasingly stating that products are not free from nut contamination due to possible airborne contamination. If you allergy is severe please be aware the food provided via our suppliers to other delegates may contain traces of nuts, peanuts or seeds.
If you have any questions or concerns, please email scotland@institute-of-fundraising.org.uk respectively in good time (at least 1 week in advance of the course start date) to allow for your needs to be catered for.
