Official public services and information on GOV.UK

GOV.UK is the central online gateway to many free UK government services and guidance, including how to check entitlement to free school meals, information on free childcare hours, how to get a state pension forecast and how to apply for official documents. The site is available to UK residents and outlines who qualifies for each service, how to apply and which local or national department to contact. Use the search and service pages to access forms and advice without charge.
