We list many events and services on this website from other organisations and we do this in good faith. Please be aware that a listing on this website is not a service endorsement or recommendation. We urge you to do your own research about all organisations before using their services and to check the times and dates of events with them before attending them. We rely on service providers to tell us if their service provision or contact details change. Good places to check organisations include: the Care Quality Commission, Check a Trade, the Charity Commission and for each sector there is usually a professional service regulator, for example the Solicitors Regulation Authority.
