Step 1.
Once it’s confirmed that no alternative funding is available – staff get approval from their line manager to apply for a SHC bursary.
Step 2.
Staff submit an application form (each applicant must submit their own separate / individual application) – applications must be sent in BEFORE an event and with enough time for the application to be processed.
Step 3.
The SHC review the application.
Step 4.
If the application is approved, successful applicants receive email confirmation. The email will include information on the reimbursement process and a link to the reimbursement form (‘SHC CPD Bursary Feedback and Evidence Form’). The line manager will be cc’d in this email. If the application is rejected, applicants will be notified via email.
Step 5.
Staff attend the course / conference.
Step 6.
Staff submit the reimbursement form (the ‘SHC CPD Bursary Feedback and Evidence Form’). Valid receipts and evidence of attendance must be uploaded with this form. (Please refer to the T&Cs for information on required evidence). This form must be submitted AFTER an event. Each applicant must submit a form for their individual expenses.
Step 7.
The SHC review the evidence – and will contact an applicant if there are any issues or if additional evidence is required.
Step 8.
Once reimbursement is approved, staff are sent an email with details of how to submit their bank details.
Step 9.
Once payment details are received, the SHC processes the reimbursement. SHC aim to process reimbursements within 14 days.
