Please note that changes came into
effect for those joining the scheme on or after 6 April 2011 [more details]
Our Childcare Voucher Scheme, in
association with Edenred* (our provider), is a simple and tax
efficient way of paying all or part of your childcare costs by
enabling you to take part of your stipend in the form of an
electronic childcare voucher. The Scheme enables you to give up
part of your cash stipend (up to a maximum of £243 per month) in
exchange for an electronic childcare voucher, which will be issued
free of tax and national insurance.
To join the Scheme, you must complete an application
form which will be used to alter your terms of
appointment. In return for reducing your cash stipend
you will receive a childcare voucher (by electronic credit) into a
personal account held with Edenred. Please return both pages of the
application form to us. On receipt we will notify Edenred and they
will contact you for some further information about your childcare
arrangements.
