Extended Entitlement: process for claiming
September 2017 is fast approaching and some
settings have already been handed eligibility codes from parents looking for
Extended (Free Entitlement) FE places.
Attached to this broadcast, as promised, is a Provider Flowchart to guide you with
what to do during this interim implementation phase of the 30 hours extended FE
funding.
Also attached for your information and to help
with your conversations with parents is the
new Parent Declaration form, which has space to collect all the new pieces of
information you need from parents.
Please refer to the documentation below:
For further information please see the reverse
of the provider flowchart. Here you will find key points and where to find
help.

3. Focus on:
Delivering Differently
Lots of providers
are asking at the moment, ‘What are the changing needs of families in my
community?’ and ‘Which models of delivery can support my sustainability?’
If these
are questions that you’d like to explore then you should attend ‘Delivering Differently’.
This
training course looks at the practical considerations and implications of
implementing Free Entitlement in your setting. The below session is the last
time this course will be FREE. No training subscription is required.
