Managing Overpayments
• In order to mitigate the number of invoices raised and
administration burdens on settings we will be using funding owed
to cover /reduce potential invoices.
• We will offer the option of an invoice or to take off future payments.
Example:
You have earned £2,000 above your estimate for NEF but you owe
£2,500 for ELP. We will not make the NEF payment and will potentially
raise an invoice or arrange reduction in future payments for £500.
• Historic debt, will be taken off future payments with agreement
from the provider.Q&A Funding and managing overpayments

Q&A Business Resources and Quality and Sufficiency

EYFS Teaching and Learning Specialist
Early Years Foundation Stage
Profile (EYFSP)
• In the academic year 2019/2020, the EYFSP
assessment was dis-applied, therefore there is
no local or national data.
• In the academic year 2020/21, Ministers have
decided it will not be mandatory to complete
the EYFSP assessment in 2021, but instead
will be asking settings to make ‘best
endeavours’ to undertake it.Caroline Vissani
EYFS Teaching and Learning Specialist
New Statutory Framework
• From 1st September 2021, a New Statutory
Framework comes into force, the main changes
are to the assessment and teaching learning
sections.
• The Safeguarding and Welfare section will
include the promotion of good oral health.
• For more information about these changes,
view our vodcasts which we will be releasing
throughout the year.Q&A EYFSP and New Statutory Framework
