School offices will be closed during the summer holiday period. If families are facing hardship, they can access the Local Authority Emergency Assistance Grant.

Further government support is available for families struggling as a result of COVID-19. More information is available here:

If families need urgent help, they can contact their local council to find out what services are available in their area.
