Parent declaration form

The form is evidence that providers have permission from parents to share the parent’s and child’s personal information with the council. Providers must hold a signed form for each child they are claiming entitlements for.

Forms must be given to parents at the earliest opportunity, for example during the registration process. Information must not be submitted on the provider portal until the form is completed and signed.

Providers must keep completed forms in a secure place. Only send copies to the council when asked and only when using secure email.

A new form must be completed and signed for each change in hours claimed. The new form must be attached to the old form it replaces.

If a child attending a setting is due to become eligible for funding the following term, ask parents to complete and return the form in the current term. This will prepare providers for the forecast payment task.
