Why would I want to make sure my details are correct?

There are a couple key reasons why you should make sure your details are correct.

• If your information is right with North Yorkshire FIS it will be right in lots of different places. Your information is given out over the telephone, through children's centres, through schools, by e-mail, by post, face-to-face and online through the following websites: www.nyfamilies.info, www.yor-ok.org.uk and other approved third party websites; and
• We have to make sure your details are checked at least once every three months for childcare providers and every six months for service providers. If your information is older than this then your information may be removed from our system.
