\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We understand that there may have been a number of enquires in relation to entitlements to Free School Meal.\u00a0 T<\/span>he following information may be of use to parents\/carers in the first instance:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0 The first vouchers have been issued in the post for all eligible pupils \u2013 some parents confirmed that they were received a few days ago.<\/em>
\n
\n\u00b7\u00a0 The FME Team are experiencing a high volume of enquiries from parents\u00a0 and carers at the moment, appreciate their frustrations and are trying to respond as quickly as possible.<\/em><\/span>
\n
\n\u00b7\u00a0 Delays to the normal postal service have resulted in parents waiting longer than they normally would for 1st class deliveries. \u00a0ALL VOUCHERS WERE POSTED FIRST CLASS.<\/em><\/span>
\n
\n\u00b7\u00a0 The FME Team have asked that parents\/carers email them on receipt of their voucher to confirm up to date contact telephone number so that we can move to an SMS delivery method in the future.<\/em><\/span>
\n
\n\u00b7\u00a0 It is also noted that a number of parents have not updated their contact number\/home address with their child\u2019s school resulting in further delays.<\/em><\/span>
\n
\n\u00b7\u00a0 All young people attending Hubs will receive free meals regardless of entitlement.<\/em>
