Educational Resource Matrix (ERM)

Children and young people in out-of-home care should have access to resources to support their educational program, just as other students do. The ERM can be used at a student’s Student
Support Group or Care Team meeting to anticipate expenses that may be incurred and to identify funding sources/responsibilities.

* State Schools Relief (SSR) - Any student who is attending a Victorian Government School is eligible for State Schools' Relief support. Schools can send an application to State Schools' Relief
when they believe that there is need to support a student whose family is facing difficulty in providing the appropriate uniform and footwear for school.
** Camps, Sports & Excursions Fund (CSEF) – Students in out-of-home care (including kinship care) covered by the Partnering Agreement are eligible for the CSEF. Applications are processed as
‘Special Consideration’ category applications. Applications are made through the school.
