Employers should use this checklist to determine whether or not they can be confident in their provider’s scheme:




  • A proven track record of reliability.
  • The infrastructure to provide excellent service and enforce an employer’s scheme policy.
  • Adequate protection for any money it has responsibility for.
  • Processes and procedures for keeping up to date and compliant with consumer legislation and other relevant legal developments.
  • An established data-protection policy.
  • Adequate risk-management systems.
  • A stated commitment to communicating clearly and fairly with all stakeholders – parents, carers and employers.
  • Assistance with the employer’s compliance with HM Revenue & Customs audit.
  • Continued employee recruitment to the scheme through re-promotion.
  • Maintenance of carer data and ongoing monitoring of eligibility.
