CTF Import including FSM
When a school imports a CTF that includes Free School Meals where a pupil has left another school, a UK country badge displaying ENG, SCT, WLS, or NIR, will populate in the Meal & Transport section in the Free School Meals row in the Student Profile. The badge only shows if the UK country in the CTF is different from the receiving school.
The UK country badge also appears in the Meal & Transport popup under the Free School Meals tab when users select Click to Edit FSM Eligibility.
