Go to the website www.inourplace.co.uk and apply the code when prompted. You will be asked for your email address and a password of your choice.

You will not receive any marketing emails. Your details will not be passed to any third party. Your responses to the monitoring questions will be strictly anonymised. You may receive very occasional emails with updates about the courses. You will receive congratulatory emails as you progress through the course.
Do my access codes expire?
Your coupon may have an expiry date, depending on where it came from. However you only need to use the code the first time you enter the course, after that your log-in details will NOT expire and you can access the course for years to come, as your child grows. So get going ASAP and continue at your leisure!
Can I get more codes for friends or other family members?
