Supply Cover
Supply cover cannot be paid for:
- Supernumerary staff who cover people that attend courses.
- Staff time (if it is out of working hours).
- Overtime (if the course takes place on a weekend).
- Staff to be released to do nursery planning.
- Time off for staff to do assignments.
To support this form you need to include an invoice that must include the date and title of the course, the person who attended, the number of hours, costs per hour and the total costs. Also, a timesheet or staff rota for the date of that course needs to be included. This must clearly show the member of staff who attended the course and the member of staff who provided the cover.
The application, invoice and timesheet/rota needs to be received to Sure Start County Durham before the 10th of the following month in which training took place. For example, if a course took place on 5 September then the appropriate forms etc would need to be sent before 10 October.
Please note up to a maximum of £40.00 per day can be paid. Unfortunately, supply cover from the Training Fund cannot be granted to teaching staff from schools (you would normally use your Training and Development Fund).
