General Terms

Our aim is to provide you with current and accurate details of conference programmes based on commitments made to us, particularly by our speakers, facilitators and venues. From time to time things do not work out as we expect; we discover we have incomplete or misleading information, speakers or facilitators fall ill or have to change what it is they have to say, venues have difficulties of various kinds, technology fails and so on. Where we have advance notice of changes and problems we will endeavour to post what we can tell you on this website as soon as is practicable.

SWGfL does not and cannot accept liability for any changes, inaccuracies or omissions in our conference programme, our conferences and our publication of them.

SWGfL does not guarantee or warrant that this website service will be uninterrupted, without delay, error, omission or viruses. Information on this website is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including for accuracy, timeliness and completeness.

We and you are reliant on you and our attendees, venues, speakers, facilitators and other conference service providers: we and you expect that each will meet their obligations in such a way that every conference is successful, safe and suitable to the needs of each of our attendees.

The opinions expressed by anyone in any way at or in the context of any conference are their own and not necessarily those of SWGfL. Anyone offering any statement of facts shall do so only if they know or consider the statement to be true for good reason and shall offer an opinion only if they can show it is well founded in relevant facts. SWGfL endorses the view and expects as a condition of conference attendance that each attendee accepts that differences of opinion and differences about what is or is not fact are a normal and necessary part of academic discourse provided care is taken not to cause unlawful offence or to be defamatory. SWGfL is not and cannot be responsible for any statement of fact or opinion made or offered by anyone or for any unlawful offence or cause of litigation any person gives any other person.

In no event save to the least possible extent required by law shall SWGfL, its members, directors, employees or agents be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, exemplary, punitive, special, liquidated, consequential or other damages whatsoever including, but without limitation, liability for loss of earnings, opportunity cost, budget, use, data or profits), without regard to the form of any action, including but not limited to contract, governmental funding, negligence or other tortuous or other actions, arising out of or in connection with our conference programme or any conference or conference service, any speech, discourse or written content offered or accessed at or in respect of any conference comprised in our conference programme or otherwise including without limitation any broadcast, publication, display or other use on this website or otherwise.

Please be thoughtful about providing your personal data to anyone you meet in person or otherwise at or in the context of one of our conferences; we do not undertake comprehensive checks on our attendees and you should be careful to manage your own risk in this regard.

All our conferences take place in England and are to do with the law and practice as it applies to English Schools and English teachers and pupils. It is a condition of attendance at any conference that we and the attendee agree that any dispute to do with the conference is a matter solely and exclusively to be decided under English law, if necessary in the English courts.
