Wonderstuff16 Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 Does anyone know, if we should be asking for NHS numbers on our registration forms. We have recently purchased Instant Nursery Manager software and its one of the fields on there to complete. Is there any reason why we shouldn't be asking for this?

SueJ Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 We ask for NHS numbers on our registration forms as the one time I needed to take a child to the local GP the first thing they asked for was this before they would even look at the child as the child was not registered with that particular surgery. Just in case you were wondering the child had snipped the bit of skin between two fingers and it would not stop bleeding despite our best efforts and as is always the case neither the parents or the emergency contacts were contactable!

Cait Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Ooh right. Something else to add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SamG Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Might add this to our registration form as it's something you need if they are funded 2 year olds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caffinefreak Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Sam, I wasn't aware that we needed this for funded 2 year olds (must have overlooked that bit ) can you please let me know where it says that as I always like to show parents why I am asking for details like that. Thanks so much for bringing that to my attention x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 we get asked for this by SALT if we are talking about a child.Hadn't thought about asking for it on the registration! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredbear Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 We need a NI number for parents but not NHS number for children in our area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodlands1997 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 We need a NI for parent too for the 2 year old funding but never been aware of needing number for child? A lot of ours don't know/ won't provide doctor or HV so not sure they would be happy giving this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 lah lah lah lah - not listening - can't possibly make any more changes to my documentation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SamG Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 When we set up a child on our LEA's tracking and assessment system for the 2 year old funding it is one of the things it asks for. There is a way around it but it gets complicated the more children you add without NHS numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueJ Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 lah lah lah lah - not listening - can't possibly make any more changes to my documentation Get away with you - you've got plenty of time to put any changes in place before you start dishing out your new starter paperwork surely 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynned55 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Our parents have to provide NI number for 2 yr funding but not NHS- so maybe a local thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SamG Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 When parents apply for the funding they need their own NI number, but as a setting we need the child's NHS number for the tracking and assessment system to show the progress the children make between starting on the funding and finishing when they go onto 3 year old funding.
