Are you the parent or carer of a school age child (reception to year 11) that has previously been in care who has an Adoption Order, Special Guardianship Order or a Child Arrangement Order?

If so, your child's school is able to claim for the Pupil Premium Plus funding grant (PP+), to support your child's education! From September, this will be £2,690 per child.

For your child's school to claim the funding, you just need to make them aware that your child is previously looked after and provide a copy of their order.

To find out more about how schools can use the PP+ funding, please click here https://pulse.ly/ud0hlfrbpu

Clare's Law, often known officially as a Domestic Violence Disclosure Scheme or similar, designates several ways for police officers to disclose a person's history of abusive behaviour to those who may be at risk from such behaviour. It is intended to reduce intimate partner violence. Clare's Law is named after Clare Wood, a woman murdered in England by a former domestic partner who police knew to be dangerous.

Clare's Law has two main elements: a 'right to ask', which allows members of the public, including a domestic partner, to request information from the police about a potential abuser; and a 'right to know', which, in certain circumstances, permits police to disclose such information to the public on their own initiative.

ANYONE can apply for a clare's law for them or on behalf of someone else, if any information is available to share, the police will only contact the person at risk to inform the@centralbeds Bedfordshire Police Luton Council
