Audit of Working Parent Entitlement Codes Underway

Verification of entitlement codes ahead of Autumn term claims

Bradford Schools Online has announced the commencement of an audit focusing on Working Parent Entitlement codes. This exercise is being carried out in preparation for the upcoming Autumn term claims to ensure accuracy and validity.

Purpose of the audit

The audit aims to verify that all Working Parent Entitlement codes currently in use correspond correctly to the relevant hours claimed. This step is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the entitlement system and ensuring that claims are processed accurately.

What this means for schools and parents

• Schools are advised to review the entitlement codes assigned to working parents.
• Any discrepancies or invalid codes should be identified and corrected before the Autumn term claims are submitted.
• The audit helps to prevent errors in funding and entitlement allocations.

Next steps

Further guidance and support for the audit process are expected to be provided to schools to facilitate the review. Ensuring that entitlement codes are accurate will support smooth processing of claims and uphold the standards of the entitlement system.
