Eligibility Check

When booking, the system runs a background eligibility check.

It checks the child’s:

  • Surname
  • Date of Birth
  • Postcode

These details must exactly match the information held by the child’s school.

Common issues include:

  • Recently moved house (postcode mismatch)
  • Hyphenated surnames
  • Spelling differences
  • Different parent/carer details recorded at school

Information we need to know on our side.

  • HAF places open to anyone 48 hours before so we need them full by then so that it doesn’t go to children who aren’t eligible for it.
  • This ensures places are reserved for eligible children first, rather than being taken by non-eligible bookings.
  • Oversubscribing an option once we fill spaces so we get 60 turn up.

Promotion

How we could advertise these:

  • School communications
  • School Coffee mornings next week? – Or ASC Inflatables while we chat it through with parents?
  • Leaflets
