Interpreters: Please bring your Access to Work interpreter, but note if they require lunch, a separate lunch ticket will need to be purchased. Please select an interpreter ticket on the Add-on page when selecting your workshops and contact BATOD North at the earliest convenient time, including the workshops you have booked on to. This allows us to allocate suitable rooms for the workshops chosen. BATOD North can also provide interpreters, as required. All requests for BSL interpreters need to be submitted to BATOD North, via email, by Friday 25th September 2026.

Dietary Requirements: Please highlight to BATOD North if you have a dietary requirement on the Add-On page when selecting your workshops.

Please note, BATOD North requires payment for tickets in advance and reserves the right to withhold tickets from those authorities that have not yet paid. BATOD North is run entirely by volunteers and chasing up non-payments is extremely time consuming.

The organisers reserve the right to alter the programme at any time.
