SCHOOL DINNERS - The Welsh Government will ensure all pupils entitled to free school meals will continue to receive provisions if they are shielding or have to self-isolate thanks to £420,000 of funding confirmed by Education Minister Kirsty Williams.

Speaking on a video released today on her Twitter channel, the Education Minister Kirsty Williams confirmed at least £420,000 would be made available immediately to support local authorities deliver this service.

ABC Note: As long as a parent is eligible to claim free school meals, the child can get them. A child could potentially have four parents; two foster parents and two natural parents. If any one of these four parents meets the criteria, then their child is eligible for free school meals.
