Absences
The number of initial, additional and total absence days are counted by CCS for a child (separated parents both included in single total) per financial year.
Where a child is absent for more than one session on a day across all services they are enrolled in, this is counted as one absence.
- Initial absences:
-
The first 42 absences regardless if evidence is provided are counted as initial absences. Initial absences will attract CCS.
- Additional absences
Any subsequent absences following the 42 initial absences are counted as additional absences. Additional absences will attract CCS where: - the reason is not other and evidence is supplied and held by the provider, or
- the reason is local emergency and the a local emergency has been recorded against the Service
- the reason is the child is attending preschool
- the reason is pupil-free day
