  13. Lessons Learnt So Far • Ensure that there is extensive stakeholder engagement from the outset • Set stakeholder expectations at the right level • Identify all the elements of the technical solution • Focus on the 'Why should I use MyCard‘ • It is important to build sufficient contingency into the budget and the timescales • Ensure that the card users are well informed about the card in advance of launch

  14. Positive Feedback • The pupils like the idea of carrying the card and the functionality that it provides; • Pupils don’t have to carry cash, which has a number of knock-on benefits e.g. less cash lost, less bullying for money etc.; • Within the canteen, the queue through the till is quicker, with money and stock being easier to count and monitor. • In addition, School Principals have said that the feedback from parents has been positive.

  15. Not so Positive Feedback • The main issue is card breakages and pupils losing or forgetting their cards. • Some schools have had more success than others in addressing and overcoming this issue. • Revaluation Machines
