Bulletin 12 January 2026.
Grocery vouchers for eligible families with children
Eligible households will be sent a grocery voucher from the Household Support Fund between 22 and 27 January 2026. Copies of each child’s unique code will be sent to schools via Perspective Lite so parents who may not have received their voucher can get the code from their child’s school.
An important change is being introduced to payslip distribution. Payslips will now be posted directly to employees and will no longer be delivered to schools via the van service.
In addition, electronic payslips will soon be available for all school employees, offering:
- Instant access – payslips can be viewed anytime, anywhere.
- Enhanced security – personal information will remain fully protected.
Further details and guidance on accessing electronic payslips will be provided shortly.
