Cancellation of Courses & Workshops
All trainings, courses and workshops need to be booked and paid for in full, in advance to secure your space.
Cancellations can not be refunded. If we receive more that 14 days notice we may be able to move you to a future training, course or workshop but this is at our discretion.
TEACHER TRAININGS
These are the boring bits that we need to honour in order to make our trainings and Teacher’s Community run smoothly. Please take a moment to familiarise yourself with them. By applying for any teacher training course with LushTums you are agreeing to comply with these terms and conditions.
Our Teacher Trainings need to be booked and paid for in full, in advance.
Our payment plan option is there to help those who cannot pay in full at the outset. All monthly payments must be made and received within 6 months. If full payment has not been received, we reserve the right to pursue legal action including any costs incurred.
If during the course, for some unforeseeable reason you cannot continue with the training, no refunds will be made.
Once courses commence you are required to compete all self-study components and submit your assignments by the completion date; failure to do so will result in you not receiving your certificate.
All training course content, video links and manuals are shared with you for your own study and reference only. These must not be shared with others, as this will constitute a breach of copyright and our agreement.
All work produced for assignments, exams etc must be in your own words and your own work. Any sources used must be credited accordingly.
Upon receiving your LushTums qualification certificate and in the event that you begin teaching, you are responsible for your own insurance, registration with FEDANT and any and all tax with HMCR as an independent sole trader.
You must complete your training and submit your assignments within 12 months in order to qualify.
In order to maintain the quality of our teachers and their offerings, any break in teaching for more than 12 months needs to be discussed in advance and may require you to complete a low cost refresher course upon your return to teaching.
Copyright of all LushTums content continues to be owned by Clare Maddalena and you cannot pass this off as your own. We expect you to honour these teachings by recognising and crediting the LushTums brand name, thereby creating a standard of practice that people can rely on and trust in the pregnancy, birth and motherhood world.
The use of the LushTums trademark and logos is permitted on a case by case basis and can be withdrawn at any time.
In exceptional circumstances, on a case-by-case basis, our cancellation policies may be altered as decided by LushTums Ltd.
We reserve the right to update this policy at any time.
Trainee Teacher & LushTums Teacher Code of Conduct
Trainees and teachers are required to follow all LushTums codes of conduct and procedures and will be expected to behave in a professional manner at all times to uphold the good name of LushTums and our community. Standards of conduct policies include, but are not limited to:
Maintaining the highest level of teaching standards as representative of LushTums ensuring that you are up to date on all the latest techniques and teaching according to the LushTums Method.
Before you begin training, consider where you plan to teach. Treat others as you would like to be treated; agree to work collaboratively with local LushTums teachers in your area and not competitively. This may look like, but is not limited to, teaching at different venues in different parts of the town/city, teaching at different days and times, having open and kind conversations with each other, collaborating on marketing initiatives or attending events together, etc.
Seek help and advice if needed at any time. No question is too small or silly.
Take responsibility for your own health and well-being and in the event of any illness or injury that may impede your ability to teach and inform LushTums of this.
Treat everyone with respect and compassion at all times. Any form of bullying will be treated seriously and may lead to termination of our relationship.
Follow good karma by helping others in the Teachers Community. Harassment of the LushTums team and peers will not be tolerated. Behave and speak in a way that does not harm or cause offence to others.
Ensure you are punctual for all classes and that you finish on time. For teacher training, you need to attend all sessions and any absences must be first agreed.
Ensure you respond to client requests (emails, texts, etc.) within 24hrs to maintain professional standards.
Treat all LushTums (and all other sub-brands) property and the property of others with respect.
Adhere to the Health and Safety rules at all times.
Adhere to respectful use of our PR, online and social media policy by crediting LushTums and tagging us in when sharing any of our content, ethos, values or philosophy. Crediting LushTums includes but is not limited to the naming of classes, for example: ‘LushTums Pregnancy Yoga’ / ‘LushTums Antenatal Education - Prepare For Birth & Baby’ / ‘LushTums Mum & Baby Postnatal Yoga’ / ‘LushTums Beyond Postnatal’ or LushTums Women’s Yoga’ or “LushTums Mother’s Yoga’ etc. Crediting also includes tagging ‘@LushTums’ and referencing LushTums in any social media content or information that you share that you have originally obtained through LushTums.
No breach of client or peer confidentiality will be tolerated.
Smoking and being under the influence of alcohol or substances is not allowed whilst conducting any form of teaching or participating in courses. If you must smoke, please do so away from the teaching venues or in designated areas.
Failure to comply with the standards of conduct policies will be handled by LushTums. Failure to comply will lead to conduct warning or dismissal and removal from the Community and website.
If you decide to no longer teach classes, you will give LushTums a months notice of this so we can update our website and remove you from the Community. Should you act in a manner that is not in accordance with this Code of Conduct, LushTums retains the right to give you immediate notice to quit; after which you may not use the LushTums brand or logo.
