Please pause for thought before acting on any email or other form of corrrespondence, or anyone knocking at the door.

There are a lot of scams out there. Here’s just one example:

We’ve been informed that some parents have received an email stating: ‘As schools will be closing, if you’re entitled to free school meals, send your bank details and we’ll make sure you’re supported’.

This is a scam email. We urge parents not to respond and delete immediately.
