As part of applications for 2yr old FEEE funding or extended FEEE funding for 3-4yr olds, parents/carers should be made aware that:

(a) Data will not be used for any purpose other than those stated on the application.

(b) Receipt of one of the prescribed benefits required for funding will be checked by the local authority with the appropriate government departments (HMRC, DWP and Home Office)

(c) Any entitlement or change in entitlement status will be shared by the local authority with the school or setting that the child attends.

(d) Data may be used to ensure accuracy of records across the local authority and to prevent fraud.

All information will be held securely and in compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018. View our Privacy Notices on the links below:

The data collected as part of an Early Years application will be used to carry out eligibility checks for Free Early Education, and the Early Years Pupil Premium. Any parent who wishes to withdraw consent for their data to be checked can contact the Leicester City Council in writing using the details supplied in the Contact Us option shown on the portal. However this will result in the Local Authority being unable to carry out checks on your behalf, and extra funding may be discontinued.
