3. Information on this website

The information provided on this website is for general information about Education Funding Solutions and the services offered.

I take reasonable care to ensure that information published on the website is accurate and current. However, funding rules, legislation, regulatory requirements, guidance and funding opportunities can change.

Information on this website should therefore not be treated as specific professional advice relating to an individual organisation or set of circumstances.

4. Consultancy services

Descriptions of services on this website are provided for general information and do not constitute an offer or guarantee that a particular service will be suitable or available.

The precise scope, deliverables, timescales, fees and responsibilities relating to consultancy work will be agreed separately with each client before work commences.

Where there is any conflict between these website terms and the terms agreed for a specific consultancy assignment, the terms of the specific consultancy agreement will take precedence.

5. Funding and bid-writing services

Education Funding Solutions may provide support with identifying funding opportunities, developing funding strategies and preparing or reviewing funding applications.

No guarantee can be made that an application will be successful.

Funding decisions are made by the relevant funder and may be influenced by factors outside the control of Education Funding Solutions.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise, the client remains responsible for approving the final content of an application and confirming that information supplied in support of an application is accurate.

6. Consultancy, compliance and advisory work

Advice and recommendations are based upon the information made available during the assignment and the legislation, funding rules, guidance and other relevant information reasonably available at the time the work is undertaken.

Clients remain responsible for decisions concerning the operation, governance and management of their organisation and for determining whether and how recommendations are implemented.

Education Funding Solutions does not provide legal, accounting or regulated financial advice.

7. Intellectual property

Unless otherwise agreed, the content of this website, including original text, branding, graphics, documents and materials produced by Education Funding Solutions, belongs to Education Funding Solutions or is used with appropriate permission.

Website content must not be copied, reproduced, republished or commercially exploited without prior permission, except where permitted by law.

Intellectual property arrangements relating to materials specifically created for a client will be dealt with within the relevant consultancy agreement or terms of business.

8. External links

This website may contain links to websites operated by third parties, including government departments, funding organisations and other external organisations.

These links are provided for convenience and information.

Education Funding Solutions does not control third-party websites and is not responsible for their availability, content, security or privacy practices.

9. Availability of the website

I will take reasonable steps to maintain the website but cannot guarantee that it will always be available or free from errors, interruptions or technical problems.

Access may occasionally be suspended or restricted for maintenance, security or other operational reasons.

10. Liability

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability where it would be unlawful to do so.

To the extent permitted by law, Education Funding Solutions will not be responsible for loss arising solely from reliance upon general information published on this website rather than advice provided as part of an agreed consultancy assignment.

Specific liability arrangements relating to paid consultancy services will be set out in the applicable consultancy agreement or terms of business.

11. Privacy and personal information

Personal information collected through this website is handled in accordance with the Education Funding Solutions Privacy Notice.

A link to the Privacy Notice is available in the website footer.

12. Changes to these terms

These terms may be amended periodically, including where services, legislation or business practices change.

The latest version will be published on this website together with the date it was last updated.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales.

Any dispute relating to the use of this website will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales, subject to any applicable legal rights.
