The final date for expense claims from the previous year is 31 March.

The expenses the principal can claim depend on how far away the placement is from their home and whether they are living away from their normal residence.

How to pay expenses and claim reimbursement from us

The board employing the ESS principal must pay for the expenses and then send a claim to us for reimbursement of these costs.

We only reimburse costs that have been paid out of board funds. This can be costs the board pays for directly or costs they reimburse the ESS principal for.

The claim must include:

  • invoices and receipts as evidence of the costs
  • a completed claim form.
