Business Support Workshop

Focus - Admissions Policies

In this session we will aim to go through the main requirements and information which we would expect to be covered in your Admissions Criteria/Policy document in relation to FEEE places.

Context:

  1. FEEE providers are required to have an Admissions Criteria/Policy which is clear about how parents can access the funded entitlements. This document and any support information should be made available to parents at the point their child first accesses provision.
  2. Many parental queries and concerns raised with the EED team are due to insufficient information and lack of clarity/explanation from the provider with regard to how they administer the funded entitlement places and what their charges are for additional hours and services.
  3. Having clear and transparent information, about the funded entitlement, in your Admissions Criteria/Policy document is key to avoid any misunderstandings with parents and potentially being put into FEEE compliance measures.
  • Date: Thursday 2 December
  • Time: 10am to 12 noon (2 hr session)
  • Training type: Delivered via msteams online
  • Charge: Free support session
