AIM Level 7 confirmation form available from 18 August 2026

Dear Service Provider,

This is a final reminder that AIM Non-Term applications for the 2025/2026 programme call will close on 14 August 2026. Please ensure that any outstanding AIM Non-term applications are submitted by then.

AIM Level 7 confirmation form

The redesigned AIM Level 7 confirmation form will be available on the Early Years Hive from Tuesday 18 August 2026.

Service providers who have submitted an AIM Level 4 application and indicated that they wish to avail of AIM Level 7 supports for the 2026/2027 programme call, and who have received their notification for the preliminary support award, must submit this confirmation  form to confirm that they still wish to receive AIM Level 7 supports.

Where a child has been awarded an AIM Level 7 support level and an active ECCE and NCS registration is identified, support will be awarded automatically following the submission of the AIM Level 7 confirmation form. Therefore, if a service provider does not require all supports awarded to a child, a request must be submitted on the Early Years Hive advising of this. For example, where a child does not require support during NCS hours.
