Travel and Subsistence Policy

Estyn’s rules and processes concerning travel and subsistence payments have been developed in light of the following principles:

a) the need for efficiency, effectiveness and value for money
b) the importance of ensuring that claimants are fully and speedily reimbursed for
expenses actually and necessarily incurred
c) the need for administrative arrangements to be the minimum compatible with
adequate accountability
d) the need for payments not to incur a taxation liability for the individual or Estyn
e) application on an equal and fair basis
