Follow the steps to complete your Parent Authorisation Forms effectively.

1. Press the 'Get Form' button to access and open the PAF3 and PAF4 forms in your available editor.
2. Begin with the child's details section. Ensure the parent or carer enters the child's legal surname, first name, and any middle names exactly as they appear on their valid ID document.
3. Verify the child's gender, address, date of birth, and valid ethnicity code. It is important to cross-check this information against the provided ID document.
4. Examine the funded hours section where the parent/carer reports other providers if the child is attending multiple settings. Contact other providers to ensure that the child accesses no more than 15 funded hours per week.
5. Complete the Early Years Pupil Premium (EYPP) eligibility section. Check the parent's responses and retain copies of any relevant evidence that confirms eligibility. This section is optional.
6. Once filled out, ensure the parent/carer signs the authorization form. Remember that it must not be altered after signing. If there are changes, a new form should be completed.
7. Complete and sign page 2 of the form as the provider, confirming that the information remains accurate if the form is being re-signed for a subsequent term.
8. Retain a copy of the completed forms and any proof of eligibility for seven years as required for audit purposes.
9. Finally, save the changes to the form, and be sure to download, print, or share as needed.
