Management Information Sheet
NCC EdenRed School Meal voucher charges
As we approach financial year-end, this notification is to clarify the position for those schools that have placed orders for meal vouchers on the NCC EdenRed portal.
Please note: this does not relate to the Christmas and February half term holiday vouchers that all schools ordered, that were funded by Norfolk County Council from the Covid Winter Support Package. This notification is in relation to orders placed for term-time vouchers that are funded by either the DfE or from school budgets.
DfE funded FSM vouchers
No accounting entries will be required for schools who incurred DfE-funded FSM costs via the NCC Eden Red portal. Statements will be forwarded to schools in April 21 and the relevant invoices/journals will be processed in period 1 onwards. NCC will ensure the necessary accounting entries required in 20/21 are completed centrally.
The DfE has not yet issued any notification regarding the reclaiming of costs - although it is expected that schools will be able to submit successful applications in the 21/22 financial year. This will then offset the costs that will be invoiced/journaled from period 1.
Voucher for non-FSM purposes
For those schools who have used the NCC Eden Red portal to order voucher for other purposes not linked to means-tested FSM - for example snow closures, UIFSM etc, statements will be provided prior to year-end and the relevant journals/invoices will be processed.
We will contact these schools individually by e-mail with their statements; if you believe you should have charges applied in 20/21 financial year and do not receive a statement by 8 March, please e-mail fsmf@norfolk.gov.uk
