Increase the efficiency of your HAF provision.

Are you tired of time-consuming admin, complicated eligibility workflows & constant back-and-forth between stakeholders?

Well, if you are ...

Good news — we're here to let you know that there's a more efficient way to manage your HAF Programme.

We've worked with pioneering organisations like West Sussex County Council and Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council to co-create a market-leading HAF Booking Service that:

• Automates & streamlines admin processes 
• Provides a GDS-approved process for checking eligibility 
• Delivers an improved experience for families, staff & providers  
• Automates the mandatory reporting schedule & more

With this in mind, we want to share how this platform could benefit your council too.

So, here are 4 ways you could use this platform to simplify the day-to-day management of your HAF Programme:

1: To simplify & fairly manage access to activities

You'll be able to manage eligibility workflows, credit allocations & booking limits with:

• A simple, GDS-approved process for checking eligibility & approving users/accounts
• An upload feature that simplifies the migration of data on pre-approved accounts & users
• Booking rules & digitised credit allocations/re-allocations that automate & fairly manage access to activities

2: To improve reporting & streamline admin processes

Reduce time-consuming admin processes and improve reporting with:

• An automated mandatory reporting schedule
• Real-time KPI dashboards
• Real-time attendee lists & calendar view
• Automated data collection & validation
• Automated two-way comms channels
• AI-powered scheduling & resourcing for multiple locations, activity types & providers
• A solution that integrates to other widely used platforms

3: To enable end-to-end self-service for every type of user

Save time, reduce costs & increase first-time resolution rates by enabling families/guardians to:

• Self-serve 24/7
• Book for multiple children at once
• Book multiple activities at once
• Access the service in different languages
• Manage info with My Account functionality
• Be assisted by in-built guidance messaging

4: To make it easy for providers to manage activities

You'll be able to simplify activity management for providers who can log in to dedicated areas to:

• Create, modify or cancel their activities
• View bookings & attendance reports (24/7)

Note: unlike council staff, providers only have permission to view their activities — this provides all the benefits of consolidating bookings in a single platform while protecting non-essential data.
