• Need an account setting up on E-Start

  If you would like a new account set up or amended for a member of staff, the Children’s Centre Lead will need to complete an online e-Start User Account Form, also indicating the training date required. Those attending training also need to complete an e-start Data Protection and Acceptable Use Form for New Users prior to attending training. This ensures that staff receive appropriate support and training on the use of E-Start including awareness of their responsibilities under the Data Protection Act before having access to the system.

  Training takes place every 6-8 weeks and is run at the Hayridge Centre, Cullompton. Sets of training dates will be distributed to Centre Leads/data Leads as they are confirmed; they can also be found on the e-Start User Account Form.

• User guides and reporting guidelines

  All centres are required to use the Monitoring Guidelines for Devon’s children’s centres which provide helpful information about the information that should be stored on E-Start and how information should be added to the database.

  Capita provide the following manuals which provide further reference information about E-Start:
