CCSP: Amending Sessions (e.g. a child is moving from part-time to full-time) If the registration is changing and needs to be updated from part-time to full-time, please input a CCSP Leaver with the date the child is changing service level. A new registration should then be created with the updated level of service for the appropriate period. Please see pages 14/15 of the CCSP Registration Guide. |
