1. Latest information on coronavirus (COVID-19)

The Department for Education has published guidance about COVID-19 in educational settings for staff, parents and carers, pupils and students on GOV.UK.

There is also guidance on the apprenticeship service about COVID-19.

Please check GOV.UK regularly for updates.

2. Action: Tell us if your contact details have changed

To help reduce the burden on educational and care settings, we have not emailed local authorities to ask you to review and update the contact details we hold for you as we normally would.

However, you can continue to provide us with your most up-to-date contact details by notifying us of any changes as they arise. Please email funding.communications@education.gov.uk with any changes to the following contact roles:

  • high needs officer
  • finance officer
  • schools forum chair
  • schools forum clerk
  • Director of Children’s Services
