As you will know, we are exploring approaches to further support our families who may be experiencing poverty.  After identifying this need we have arranged for all our schools, Primary and Secondary to have access to an e-referral system to Angus Foodbanks.

The families which you work with may, on occasion, be in some sort of crisis. This access pack will enable you to give them almost immediate support to your local foodbank.

The process is (or should be!) fairly simple. There is a comprehensive guidance pack attached as well as a Data Protection consent form. In order for your school to be registered this form will have to be returned to info@angus.foodbank.org.uk.  Once this form is processed you will receive an email confirming your access and instructions on setting up your user name and password.

Please ensure you copy me into this response (RennieD@angus.gov.uk). This will enable us to monitor uptake of this service.

We are hopeful that there will be a good uptake of this service.  The Foodbank have assured us they will be able to meet demand.
