Information

Thumbnail of The Essential Guide to Out of School and Holiday Care: 11-16 YearsThis product is created by DCSF

Once their child reaches secondary school there may be times when parents or other family members can’t be there to look after them. Work hours and school times don’t always fit. But bringing together information on support and activities available can help parents with their choices.

This booklet contains everything parents need to know about their options, how to choose and how to get the financial help available to pay for it.
