Free entitlement information and applications on GOV.UK (childcare & free school meals)

GOV.UK gives official, freely accessible information and online applications for a number of established support schemes, including eligibility checks and applications for free school meals and the 15–30 hours free childcare entitlements for qualifying working parents. It also hosts state pension forecasts, HMRC contact and simple tax guidance, and centralised application pages. Anyone living in the UK can use the site to check eligibility, download forms or apply online using the GOV.UK service pages relevant to their local authority or department.
