Add or Update a Child's Program Preferences

In order to allocate a child to a program, they must first hold a preference for that program. Use the steps described below where a child does not hold any program preferences or where the held preferences do not contain the program now required.


Alternatively, if a child already holds a preference and you wish to allocate to one of those preferences, refer here


1. From the top menu bar on a child record, access the quick function drop down buttons and select "TY - SUBMIT PROGRAM PREFERENCE" or "NY - SUBMIT PROGRAM PREFERENCE". 



2. A pre-populated form will open in a new tab, enter the updated program preferences and click "submit". 


3. When you return to the child record you will see the Program Preference record updated / added with the new program preference. NOTE, it is important that if the child was already allocated to a different program you now go ahead and allocate to the new preferenced program to ensure all allocation details are updated on the child record.
