West Dunbartonshire Council offers various benefits to eligible children, including free school meals and a School Clothing Grant. However, not all children are entitled to these benefits, and there are specific criteria that must be met in order to qualify.

One of the key eligibility factors is family income. Children from low-income families may be entitled to receive free nursery/school meals, as well as a footwear and clothing grant. The Benefits Section within West Dunbartonshire Council handles the awarding of these benefits, including nursery school meals for eligible children.

Another important factor in determining eligibility is whether a child's parents or guardians meet the criteria outlined by the Scottish Government Bridging Grants. Children who are entitled to receive free school meals through this program may also be eligible for additional benefits, such as the School Clothing Grant.

It's worth noting that not all children qualify for these benefits. For example, children in nursery school are not eligible for clothing grants. Additionally, while children in Primary 1-5 are automatically entitled to free school meals, applications must still be made for the School Clothing Grant.

In order to receive any of these benefits, parents or guardians must meet the qualifying criteria for Free School Meals detailed by the Scottish Government Bridging Grants. This includes having a low income and meeting certain other eligibility requirements.

Overall, West Dunbartonshire Council offers various benefits to eligible children, including free school meals and a School Clothing Grant. To learn more about these benefits and determine whether your child is eligible, contact the Benefits Section within West Dunbartonshire Council for further information.
