The information contained on these pages refers to the Excepted Items Scheme for Financial Year 2012-13. With effect from April 2012, a new ‘Excepted Items Scheme’ has been introduced for KCC maintained schools. The ‘Scheme’ will remain in place for the duration of the Financial Year. For details of the procedures and deadlines when opting in and out of the new scheme please click here.
Schools' Personnel Service (SPS) manages the budget for 'Excepted Items' on behalf of the Education, Learning and Skills (ELS) Directorate. This includes reimbursement for schools covering staff that are subject to maternity leave, suspension, Jury service and public service duties.
In order to ensure your school is reimbursed quickly and accurately we ask that you send us your claims promptly. This section of the site explains our Excepted Items policy and the process through which you can claim.
If you need any further advice or information please contact the Excepted Items Team on 01622 605708 or alternatively email help@the-sps.co.uk.
