ECCE/CCSS update for online returns and ref. week

Please note the changes below to the reference week and online return dates due to weather conditions.
 
Due to the current inclement weather, the reference week for the ECCE/CCSS return is being put back a week, from the week of 11-15 January to the week of 18-22 January.  This will result in the following deadlines moving;

18-22 January        Reference week

18-29 January        Services make their electronic returns


20 January        Parents are asked to complete their declaration forms and return them to services by this date at the latest

21 January        Services with vacancies are asked, if at all possible, to make their returns by this date, so the OMCYA can inform CCCs of where there are vacancies


Services which have not been in a position to open due to the current weather will not be penalised.  These arrangements will not affect the payment of the first interim 6-week payment.  Arrangements have been made for this today, and it is hoped that services will receive these payments in their bank accounts next week, although the precise date will depend on their financial institution.
