  • select ‘Ch’ on the toolbar menu. You will be taken to the ‘Child Details’ screen
  • select the child or young person that the change relates to
  • select ‘Correction’. You will be taken to the ‘Correction Child’ screen
  • enter the start date as 01/09/XX in the ‘Full Time Education start date’ field.

Note: When a child is continuing in full-time non-advanced education and the actual date that they return to education is not 1 September, for example, because the course does not start until 8 September, you must still enter 01/09/XX in the field to ensure that there is no gap in payment.

Note: If the warning message ‘1 month restriction applied to include from date. Check if correct’ displays, select ‘OK’. The message will be deleted.

Note: When you have entered the full-time non-advanced education start date in the ‘Full Time Education Start Date’ field, the computer will automatically set the date in the ‘Include From’ field in the ‘History’ screen. This date may not be correct.
