FAQs

Q. Which cities is the seminar being presented in?

We have 7 locations for you to choose from: Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, London and Exeter.  We are also livestreaming it on Monday, 20 November 2023 if you cannot attend in person.

Q. What is the exact address of my venue?

We'll send you the full venue details a couple of weeks before the seminar. All our venues are in the city centre, and are either dedicated conference centres or hotels with conference facilities.

Q. Is the livestream the same as the in person seminar?

Yes, it is exactly the same content delivered from a professional recording studio over Zoom. Whether you attend in person, or register for the livestream, you will get lifetime access to the recording of the livestream.

Q. Do I get access to the videos if I attend in person?

Yes.  Whether you attend in person, or register for the livestream, you will get lifetime access to the recordings of the livestream.  That's because we don't want you to miss anything, and because we know you might want to go back and revisit the content.

Q. How long does it take for the videos to come out?

The livestream session is on 20 November.  We'll upload the raw recordings within 72 hours.  We'll then start work on editing the raw footage, and the edited recordings should be ready in the first week of December.

Q. Can I book more than one place?

Yes - you can book as many as you like (except at the 'Work in Progress' event for charities and the voluntary sector, which is limited to one delegate per organisation).

Our online system only allows you to book up to four places (unless you do it over more than one transaction).  If you want to book more than four, please contact Jennie Hargrove, below.

Q. Am I guaranteed a place?

Sadly, our venues have maximum capacities, and we're not an airline or hotel which overbooks in the hope some people don't turn up! When the places are gone, they're gone.

Q. How much does it cost to attend?

£125+VAT. That covers admission on the day, a workbook and lifetime access to the recordings.  It's the same fee whether you attend in person, or register for the livestream and recordings.

We are offering 25 heavily discounted places at a preview 'Work in Progress' event on 27 October in central London, just for HR Professionals working within charities and voluntary sector organisations. You will see details on the booking page.  Please note that only one delegate from any organisation can attend (this is to allow a variety of organisations to benefit from the discounted rates).

Q. Is there a workbook?

Yes. You will be sent a .pdf workbook in advance.  It's up to you whether you print it off and bring it with you, or whether you annotate it on your laptop/tablet.

Q. Do you have a cancellation policy?

You can cancel up to three clear days before and we'll give you a full refund. So to cancel a seminar on Thursday, you need to tell us by 9am on the Monday before for a full refund.  You can also switch to the livestream option, or just get the recordings, if you prefer.

Q. I'd rather not pay by card - can I pay by invoice?

Yes, but we charge an additional £10+VAT admin fee per person if you ask us to invoice you (that's because our costs are less if you pay by card, and we want to pass that saving onto you to encourage card payments).

If you want to book five or more places, which you cannot do online, we won't charge the admin fee.

If you do require an invoice, please email jennie.hargrove@emplawservices.co.uk.

Q. Are meals provided?

No - it's a half day seminar and starts after lunch. There is tea & coffee when you arrive, and also during the mid-afternoon break.

Q. Is there any small-print?

Afraid so. Here it is:-

1. We reserve the right to cancel the event in the event of the speaker's illness or other unforeseen event. We also reserve the right to cancel any particular ticket which you buy through this site, or refuse entry. In either situation, we'll refund your money.

2. Daniel Barnett will be giving an overview of law and procedure during the seminar. In order to fit it into the allocated time, there will be some generalisations. You should treat the content of the seminar as general guidance but not legal advice tailored to fit the needs of your situation. Any liability for negligence, breach of contract or anything else arising from the content of the seminar is limited to twice the fee you paid to attend.
