Great British Insulation Scheme and ECO4 Flex are household referral mechanisms within the wider schemes, which enable Local Authorities (LAs) and Devolved Administrations (DAs) to widen the eligibility criteria. This allows participating LAs or DAs to refer households they consider to be living in fuel poverty or on a low income and vulnerable to the effects of living in a cold home, but who may not qualify for the schemes via the standard eligibility criteria.

The Great British Insulation Scheme and ECO4 LA Flex forms and subsidiary documents are used for local authorities’ administration of the scheme, and for third party referrals.  

Use of these forms is compulsory from 1 September 2023. We encourage their use prior to this date where possible. In order for an LA / DA to participate in Great British Insulation Scheme Flex, they must first publish a Statement of Intent using the template below.
