Universal Infant Free School Meals

All children in reception, year 1 and year 2 in England’s state-funded schools receive a free meal under the universal infant free school meals (UIFSM) policy.

Infant pupils who receive a free meal under UIFSM must also be eligible for benefits-related FSM to be able to access a place on the HAF programme

For Non-FSM Eligible Children

The HAF Programme has up to 15% of places available for children from the following groups:

• children assessed by the local authority as being in need, at risk or vulnerable (this means the child has a CiN plan (Child in Need plan), CPP (Child Protection Plan) or EHA (Early Help Assessment).
• Young Carers
• Looked-after children or previously looked after children (Kinship carers only)
• children with an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan)
• children directly referred by providers, school, parenting practitioner, health visitors, housing association (see below referral process)
• children from refugee families.

The 15% flexibility is used at the discretion of HAF providers and places are limited due to funding criteria. Priority for HAF places will be given to FSM eligible children.
