Help

If you need any help registering you can ask a professional involved in supporting your child or young person to help you. Staff in our libraries and family hubs can also help.

If you've lost your child or young person's 7-digit membership number (unique identifier number) please contact us for a copy.

What happens next

You should receive an email to confirm your registration form has been submitted. Check your spam or junk folder if you don’t receive this. This is not a confirmation of your membership.

We'll need to check your child or young person meets the eligibility criteria to attend Break Time. As part of this we'll check Lancashire County Council's records. This will include checking if your child or young person is on the SEN Register or is known to the Inclusion Service.

We may need to contact you to discuss how your child or young person meets the eligibility criteria.

You will receive a letter by the end of February 2025 to tell you the outcome of your registration.

• If your child or young person is allocated 78 Break Time hours the letter will explain what you need to do next.
• If your child or young person is not allocated Break Time hours, the letter will explain why this is.

Where the demand for Break Time exceeds the availability of the service, eligible children and young people will be prioritised for Break Time by the date on which their registration form was received.
