The Department for Education are warning that parents and carers are being targeted by scammers.

Fraudsters are targeting families, emailing parents and carers with messages such as ‘ If your child is entitled to free school meals send your bank details to the school and they will help with funding while the school is closed’.

The email contains links for the parents to follow if they want to receive the this funding – these links are fake. This is a scam!

Please report all scams to us via 0808 223 1133.
