SFVS return

The SFVS return is a mandatory annual requirement from the Department for Education (DfE). The deadline for the submission of this to the Local Authority is 31st March 2025.

To ensure that you comply with the DfE requirements please ensure that you submit your completed SFVS return to SIAS (sias@hertfordshire.gov.uk) in word format, by the above date. We will continue to post any further updates on the Grid and via Bulletins should any further changes be announced.
