FUTURE COURSE DATES

Since The Starfish Project started in 1998 we have run regular courses throughout each year. We are delighted to have been able to provide the opportunity for so many people to find control over their stammer.
Starfish always train in small groups to ensure maximum individual attention. As we ALWAYS restrict the number of new people on a course, the result is that courses do fill quickly.
However, we do operate a waiting list for 'short notice course places', which may come available should someone have to move from a 'full' course.
Should you wish to apply for a 'short notice' course place, we will contact you if a place becomes available sooner, than the course you have chosen.
Please see the application form where this is explained.

Courses for Young People 11 - 16 years old held every year.
Covid 19 safety measures on Starfish Project courses
To protect the health of everyone on a Starfish course we have sought professional health and infection control advice. Based on that advice, we have implemented various safety measures for the safety of everyone on a course. Everyone attending a Starfish residential course will be required to have received both 1st and 2nd Covid vaccinations, with the 2nd vaccination received a minimum of 14 days before the course start date. Everyone will be required to show proof of their vaccinations either electronically (with the NHS app), or a doctor’s letter confirming the vaccinations. Everyone will be required to follow the safety measures on a course for our mutual protection.

Safety Measures for Courses from August 2021
We have taken specialist guidance and have been advised that to ensure a safe working environment for everyone, all participants will be required to provide proof of having received full vaccination of an approved vaccine for Covid 19.
We will be strictly adhering to all current safety guidelines during the course We will continue with the same limited number of new people on a course, as we have always done, to ensure everyone gets the maximum benefit of one-to-one tuition whilst maintaining social distancing.
