What if I can’t care for my child?
If you are unable to care for your child, you need to seek the help and support of your family and extended networks. Should you require advice on how to do this safely please contact Bradford Council’s children’s services on 01274 435600 for advice.
Should your child have an allocated social worker please contact the allocated social worker directly or the duty social worker for the area team.
What if my child doesn’t get free school meals but I am having difficulty feeding them?
Contact your nearest local school that has remained open so that they can arrange for your child and/or you to have a meal.
A list of the open schools will be on the Bradford Council website from Monday. In the meantime, please contact your normal school for details of the open school in your community.
