Essential Information
LCTB - Guidance for appointing an Independent Chair
Expenses in relation to the Local Children’s Trust Boards can be claimed by Chair’s for:
• bus fares
• train fares
• mileage
• parking
Claims for all expenses must be supported with VAT receipts where appropriate, this includes fuel, parking and train tickets. These need to be stapled to the expenses claim form. It is a requirement that VAT receipts are submitted so that KCC can reclaim VAT (over £300,000 each year) and also for audit purposes, other than in exceptional circumstances.
Petrol will be paid at 40 pence per mile and parking fines cannot be claimed under any circumstances.
Once completed, your expense claims should be sent to the following address:
Kent Children’s Trust
G51
County Hall
Maidstone. ME14 1XQ
Tel: 01622 221689
Email: ChildrensTrustAdmin@kent.gov.uk
For processing and budgeting reasons, we strongly suggest that claims are made on a monthly basis, rather than 'stored up' for payment in bulk.

Guidance material to support the appointment of Independent Chairs has been developed by the Change 4 Children Team based on best practice from the Children's Centre District Advisory Board. This material is for reference to support the Local Children's Trust Boards. It includes a description of the role of the Chair, person specification and profile, as well as template letters, expenses form and copy of the LCTB Terms of Reference.
