In response to the recent benefit caps we are holding a session at 2pm on Wednesday 1^st May with a Benefit Cap specialist advisor from the Department of Work and Pensions to help and advise any parents who are concerned about the changes to benefit payments. Ms Weekes will arrange for a text message to be sent on the day also. Please do come along if you are affected by these changes so that you can get all the help and information you need.
