Difference between the rate the council pays and providers charge parents - Top ups.
Question:
Difference between the rate the council pays and providers charge parents - Top ups.
Answer:
The government's legislation is clear the providers must not charge parents the difference between the rate the Council pays for a funded hour and what the provider charges per hour (calculated hourly rate), or for any additional service/ charge, or nor consumable that the child is not accessing.
This would be particularly relevant to children accessing just the funded hours who might a low income household or vulnerable (i.e. Think2) as this could lead to barriers in the child accessing funded hours.
