Recommendation 11
11
Paragraph: 94
Streamline funded hours entitlement system and reduce eligibility reconfirmation to annually
Recommendation
We recommend that the funded hours entitlement system be made more streamlined. For example, parents should be able to access childcare as soon as they receive an 74 Support for childcare and the early years eligibility code. The requirement for parents to reconfirm their eligibility every three months for both the 30-hours entitlement and the Tax-Free Childcare scheme is unduly onerous and should be reduced to once per year.
