Two Year Old Funding Applications/Placements

When a Two Year Old Funding (TYOF) application is made, any child that has either not been successfully matched to a student in One, or that has been successfully matched, but there are differences (conflicts) between some details of the incoming child and the matched student, is processed via v4 Online | Portal Back Office | Data Transfer. The incoming students are listed under the 2YOF Dummy Base.

Two Year Old Funding administration is divided into the following areas:

• Manage applications and placements
• Search for submitted applications

The Manage Applications and Placements area enables online applications for Two Year Old Funding to be reviewed by the local authority teams.

The Search for Submitted Applications area enables a local authority administrator to search for submitted applications within a given date range.

Manage Two Year Old Funding Applications

Parents, carers or guardians can apply for two year old funding on economic or non-economic grounds. The majority of applications will be on economic grounds. The local authority manages the entire application process for non-economic applications, but only provides assistance when requested by economic applications.

If an economic application is successful, it is approved automatically and a message is sent from the local authority informing the parent, carer or guardian of the status of their application. Message details are not sent directly to the Citizen Self Service portal user. A notification is sent to the user’s mailbox, informing them that they have a message in their portal account. The user must log in and authenticate with the Citizen Self Service portal, before they can view the message details.
