Free school meal vouchers

[Singlemum31]

Is there anyone on here who has received the new free school vouchers and can help me out? I've received my egift card but it's asking for a sercuity code which I can't find??

Anyone??

Sorry OP I can't help but I'm bumping for you - maybe you should try a more active forum. Hope you got it sorted.

Once you have confirmed the voucher’s value, you can either:

send an ‘eCode’ directly to the parent or carers of the pupils(s) eligible for free school meals - they will need to choose an eGift card from a range of supermarkets

select an eGift card on the parent or carer’s behalf, and print and post the eGift card to them

The approach you can take will depend on parents and carers’ ability to access the internet.

Sending eCodes to families

You can send a redemption eCode from the Edenred system directly to the parent or carers of the pupil(s) eligible for free school meals. They will receive instructions on how to use this eCode to create an eGift card, which the family should receive within 3 hours. You should only consider this approach if the family receiving the support has a working email account which they can access.

Does any of this (from the FSM guidance to schools) sound like what you've got?
