Terms & Conditions and Process Ground Rules

I agree to pay the fee as indicated on my application form, including payment of £200 deposit upon submission of this form.

I am attending the course on my own free will.

I agree to take personal responsibility for any physical injuries, illnesses, or limitations I have, and I will ask for help if needed.

If I am unable to take part in any of the course activities due to physical disabilities or other problems, I will make it known to a member of the course team.

I agree that if I feel suicidal whilst on the course, I will inform a member of the course team.

I will not leave the course without first talking to one of the Course leaders

I agree that I will share any new significant information about myself/my situation which has arisen since enrolment on the course e.g. I have started on any new medication, changed my Doctor, experienced a significant event in my life etc.

If there have been any changes to your personal or therapeutic situation which, if known at the time would have led to us not accepting your application, we shall have the right to terminate your participation on the course.

If we don’t receive your pre-process documentation in sufficient time before the course start date, we reserve the right to suspend your place on the course.

I recognise and acknowledge that if I disclose any information which indicates I am currently at risk in any way, Penninghame Foundation have a duty of care to share this information with my next of kin/ support me to contact my GP. Or they will contact local GP services if urgent - whichever is appropriate in order to support me during the course, and after the course has ended.

I acknowledge that it is important that everyone feels safe on the course, and if I exhibit behaviour which others feel threatened by, I could be asked to leave. This means I take full responsibility for my own physical safety and that of others when conducting myself.

The course is a group process and you will be asked to participate in all group exercises as much as possible. If you choose not to participate in parts of the process, the team will do their best to take care of your needs. However the amount of individual attention we are able to offer is limited, and if your non-participation becomes disruptive to the process, you may be asked to leave.

The use of mobiles/telephones/laptops is discouraged, as this can disturb your process.

I agree to refrain from these activities as much as possible during the course (except in an emergency), and if I need to, I will discuss this with one of the course leaders.

During the course family or close friends can leave important messages with us at info@penninghame.org or 07517437204.

You will be informed of all calls/messages that we receive.

I agree to not read books, magazines or listen to music during the Process.

I agree to not take recreational drugs or drink alcohol during the Process.

I agree to refrain from smoking as much as possible during the Process, and if I do smoke, I will smoke outside and away from all buildings and other participants.

I agree to refrain from all sexual activity with others during the Process.

I agree to treat other participants and staff with respect at all times throughout the Process, this includes refraining from sexualised behaviour and innuendo or inappropriate touch.

I am responsible for my well-being, including getting enough sleep and taking any prescribed medicines on time. If at any time I feel unwell, I will let a member of staff know.

Refund Policy

Your deposit is non-refundable if you decide to cancel your place on the Process.

The balance of your course fee is non-refundable if you cancel less than four weeks before the start of the Process.

Both your deposit and the balance of your course fee, are transferrable to another Process, subject to availability, and to approval of your application to participate specific to that Process.
