School MealsOnline Free School MealsWe are currently reviewing the way Free School Meals (FSM) are processed. Under a planned revision, it is proposed that eligibility checks for FSM entitlement be made electronically. This would be for both new applications and renewals. This would mean that parents/carers would no longer be required to submit proof of qualifying benefit along with their application but, in the majority of cases, the check would be performed within a day of the application being received. Only where eligibility could not be verified by the electronic check, would parents / carers be asked to submit proof of a qualifying benefit in the normal way. This new system would have the effect of speeding up benefit approvals and removing the burden of proof from most parents/carers. We need your help! To help us effectively remodel the service we would like some information about your school and your involvement in the FSM application process. We are also keen to know your views about the proposed changes. We have tested the survey and it should take approximately 5 minutes to complete. All responses are anonymous and will be deleted after completion of this project.
