Has your service transitioned
to CCMS yet?
To help Children’s Services Central understand
your experiences of transition we are conducting
a short online survey.
We are hoping to be able to use the results of
this data to determine how we can best support
those services that are yet to transition.

A tool for services to use
to reconcile CCB pre CCMS.
Reconciling your CCB: Why
you need to do it and how you can do it!
Children’s Services Central
has trained over 2500 people in the new Children’s
Services Management System (CCMS). During these information
sessions we discovered that many services had never
reconciled their CCB payments.
This is an important part
of ensuring that your service is prepared for CCMS – ensuring
that all monies owing to your service under the
existing CCB payment system have been paid.
The following outlines a simple
reconciliation system you can undertake. Please use
it in conjunction with the Excel spreadsheet to do
your workings on. If you do not have Excel you can
print out the PDF version of the spreadsheet and
do a manual reconciliation.

Towards the latter part of last
year The Alliance of Children’s Services called
