Dear Service Provider,
The new NCS programme year opens on 19 August 2024.
You must activate the NCS 2024/2025 funding agreement before the current year’s agreement ends on 18 August 2024. This is to ensure continued participation in the scheme, as claims on NCS CHICKs will be registered across both programme years.
The funding agreement is available on the All Programme Applications page. You can find a guide on activating an NCS funding agreement in the Help & Support section of the Early Years Hive HERE.
Please note that failure to submit this funding agreement may result in a loss of funding. As per the NCS Policy Guidelines funding cannot be backdated, so please submit this application as soon as possible.
Regards,
The Early Years Team
