Start a Placement Notification

The provider can notify the Local Authority of funded placements for two year old children.

The placement must relate to a child who is two years old at the start of the funding period in which the proposed placement commences. These details are validated against those entered during the child’s eligibility assessment for free early education for two year olds.

  1. Select Provider Portal | Two Year Old Funding | User Home Page | Start Placement Notification to display the Placement Notification page.

If the name is longer than the field allows, the child needs to be added by the Local Authority via the v4 Client. A message is displayed. The message can be configured in the Provider portal via Administration | Text Customisation.
