Cancellation of booking:

  • 6 weeks or more Full refund

Transfer of booking

Within the six-week period before the start of a programme, we are unable to transfer a booking to a later programme free of charge, as it is seldom possible to arrange the attendance of a replacement.

Transfer within 2 weeks of the programme start date will be subject to the full 100% cancellation charge.

When Roffey Park is a Processor

    • Roffey Park is processing Participant Personal Data in a territory which is subject to a current finding by the European Commission under DP Laws that the territory provides adequate protection for the privacy rights of individuals; or
    • Roffey Park participates in a valid cross-border transfer mechanism under DP Laws, so that Roffey Park can ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to ensure an adequate level of protection with respect to the privacy rights of individuals as required by Article 46 of EU DP Law; or
    • the transfer otherwise complies with DP Laws.

If any Participant Personal Data transfer between you and Roffey Park requires execution of EU approved standard contractual clauses in order to comply with DP Laws (where you are the entity exporting Participant Personal Data to Roffey Park outside the EEA), you and Roffey Park shall complete all relevant details in, and execute, such EU approved standard contractual clauses, and take all other actions required to legitimise the transfer.
