My 2nd year 13 yo child has just told me that she has been buying/sharing lunch with another child who should be on free school meals but according to my child the mum is a junkie and she hasn't applied for them. The other child never has any money either and usually gets no lunch except for what my child gives her. I don't have an issue with my child sharing her lunch even though we are on free meals. She gets enough to eat and is relatively privileged despite my low income. She was afraid to tell me she's been helping out this other child for ages because she thought I'd be annoyed :o(
My question is is there any way the child can get free meals without the parent applying for them? TIA

Can children apply for free school meals themselves?
