  5. Sessions can take place at home, pre-school, nursery, school or in a suitable community space. There may be an additional charge if room hire is required.

  12. I am to inform MITOS if, for any reason, my child cannot attend sessions. If less than two weeks notice is given, I will still be charged for room hire.

  16. I am aware of the MITOS Safeguarding and Privacy Policies, including data protection.
