Coming soon reminder: Easier registration and claims process for Wraparound Childcare

 From 19 February 2024 the way that personnel register and claim WAC funding is changing. The process will be fully integrated in JPA and will be much simpler to use.

• Personnel that are currently registered will receive an email from the WAC team explaining what this means for them.
• Personnel that haven't yet registered but may be eligible should note that there will be a freeze to the registration process from 31 January 2024 until the switch over on 19 February 2024.
• Personnel that register between 19 February and 31 March 2024 will be able to backdate their registration to 1 February 2024, subject to eligibility.
