Description

The JISA scheme has existed since 2011, when the Coalition Government ceased funding CTFs for all children, but established a new scheme funded and organised by the DfE, to provide children who had been looked after for 12 months with a JISA, through an initial contribution from the Government of 200 GBP.

The appointed contractor will ensure eligible children and young people receive the payments due to them through this scheme: by acquiring the necessary data from LAs, opening JISAs for those children, making payments into these JISAs and providing information about the JISAs opened and payments made to LAs, CiC and their carers. The appointed contractor will be managing the existing 25 800 JISAs and also responsible for administering 13 700 CTFs of looked after children.
