RE: Kinship and Free School Meals

Hi Paddy
An LA may provide free school meals under section 512 of the Education Act 1996. If it does it must charge for them under section 512ZA but must provide them free under section 512ZB if the parent is on IS. Section 576 defines parent as: -
“(1) In this Act, unless the context otherwise requires, “parent”, in relation to a child or young person, includes any person—
(a) who is not a parent of his but who has parental responsibility for him, or
(b) who has care of him”,
Regards Paul
