There's a cost to putting on this session, so it’s really important we know in advance that you won’t be attending. It also means we can offer your place to someone else. You can withdraw your registration on your Eventbrite account or email coordinator@whāraurau.org.nz.
There may be times where a manager’s consent is required to attend a training, and also if you don’t turn up, we may message them to find out if you’re okay.
