I wish I never signed up to the NEF funding…

I submitted all the forms within the deadlines and I have still have not received any funding.

Rang them today only to discover that I will get the 100% funding at the end of March! They acknowledged that they received all the paperwork on time but I slipped through the system?

So after my telephone conversation today, I submitted a complaint by email and provided information on time/dates I submitted the forms. I now have to wait 14 working days for a response to my complaint.

My problem is now if I don’t receive any of the funding until the end of March, how I’m I supposed to provide ‘care and education’ until then?

Has anyone else had this situation before? Any advice would be appreciated.

Nina who is not amused…:angry:

It is quite common.
We have estimates that we submit approx two weeks before the term starts. The problem is that should you have a parent approach you for a funded place after the estimates do in then yes you don't get any money until the end of the term. I usually put extra money away in the good months which help in the leaner months until funding comes through.
