Understanding the downstream approach based on CRES

Based on each CRES's policy, a child's record will be automatically created or updated in the Downstream EnrolNow system. The councils policy will define whether this occurs upon allocation, acceptance of an offer or on a defined date each year. To understand more about the various approaches taken please refer below:
