3. (FE PROVIDERS ONLY) Free Entitlement for 2 Year Olds
If you know
a parent who has applied for Free Entitlement for 2 year old funding but you haven’t
been given an eligibility code, please do contact us. We will be able to
confirm if funding has been awarded in order for you to be confident the child
is eligible and plan a start date.
Remember
that unlike 3 and 4 year olds, funded 2 year olds can start at any point in the
term, even after Headcount Day.
We are
currently supporting around 400 families within West Sussex whose 2 year olds
are eligible for Free Entitlement.
Should
you have any queries please contact the Family Information Service on 01243
777807 or email free.entitlement@westsussex.gov.uk
4. Guidance on effective child
dental health interventions
Public
Health England have produced updated guidance on effective dental health
interventions, including prevalence of dental decay (please see attachment).
On page
4 it provides the top 3 interventions for preventing tooth decay, and advice on
reducing inequalities on page 6.
Key
advice given includes that a child should be taken to the dentist when the
first tooth appears (at about 6 months) and then on a regular basis.
