The Scheme

The Civil Service Care Leavers Internship Scheme is a flagship scheme which gives care leavers the chance to benefit from a 12-month paid internship in a central Government department/agency, with the possibility of the post being made permanent at the end of the 12 months.

The latest data shows 38% of care leavers aged 19-21 were NEET, compared to 11% of their peers in the general population. To help to address this the Internship scheme provides participants with the opportunity to develop and enhance their skills and has been the launch pad for a successful career in the Civil Service for many care leavers.

How to get a National Insurance number for a child who is in the care of a local authority.

Overview

Children who are looked after by local authorities do not automatically get a National Insurance number.

If you're a children's social worker, write to HMRC to apply for a National Insurance number on the child's behalf.

How to apply

You should apply after a child is 15 years and 9 months old. Write to HMRC using your local authority's official letter headed paper.

You must explain in your letter that you're applying for a National Insurance number for a looked after child and give your contact details.

You must also include:

a statement that you're a social worker applying for a National Insurance number for a looked after child

the child's full name

any previous names the child has used

the child's date of birth

the date the child went into care

the child's current residential address

the contact details of the social worker who has written the letter

If possible, the letter should also include:

any previous addresses (such as their parent's old address or the child's last address before they were taken into care)

a photocopy of any of the following:

the child's birth certificate

their Care Order

the ID page of the child's passport

If the child is an unaccompanied minor and supported by the Home Office, you must include photocopies of either:

the child's Home Office documents

both sides of a residence permit

It is important that any young person who is sleeping rough approaches their local council for help. If you have seen someone sleeping rough, you can contact StreetLink via their website or app. Street Link will ask you for some details about the person, including where they are sleeping, so that they can connect with local services such as day centres, outreach teams or night shelters.

If you are comfortable talking to the young person, you can also ask them if they have approached their local council for support. Many young people simply don't realise that there is support available for them, and often don't know how to access it.

If you are comfortable doing so, you could support them to approach their local council, ensuring that they are able to make a homelessness application and that an assessment of their needs and situation is completed.

If you have seen a young person sleeping rough and it is outside of office opening hours, you can call Llamau's Youth Homeless Helpline, run in partnership with Shelter Cymru, free of charge, on 08000 495 495. Highly trained colleagues and volunteers will help you to access safe temporary accommodation and provide advice on how to keep yourself safe.

If you are worried that the young person is in immediate danger, you should call the emergency services on 999.

Chip is a savings app you connect to your current account via 'Open Banking'. It then uses an algorithm to work out how much you can afford to save, and automatically puts that aside for you - great for those without the self-discipline needed.

Autosave with Chip and get 0.7% interest. Normally autosave apps pay little interest. But Chip* has partnered with Allica Bank to offer a 0.7% AER variable interest easy-access account - which beats the top normal savings account - though Chip charges a £1.50 fee every four weeks, which would outweigh the interest gain for most.

Yet if you're new to Chip we've a code to get £20 cashback, which covers the fee for over a year. Sign up to Chip's app* and select the 'ChipAI' plan, and it'll set up a Chip Savings Account. Once you've registered, enter code CHIPMSE07 in 'Earn and track rewards' on the app's 'Profile' tab. Save at least £1 with Chip by 11.59pm on Tuesday 12 October and the £20 is paid on Saturday 13 November - just keep £1+ there until it's paid. You can then withdraw it to your linked current account to cover the fees, which are charged to your debit card. The cashback is only for new Chip customers.

How to get the 0.7% interest: The standard Chip Savings Account doesn't pay interest, so head to the 'Accounts' tab and open the Allica Bank account (min deposit £1, max £30,000; interest paid daily). Make sure you go into your 'Autosave settings' to ensure that's where your autosaves are going. If you reach the max £30,000, autosaves will automatically stop.

Want the 0.7% interest without autosaving? Follow the same process as above to register with Chip and set up the Allica account. Then pause autosaving by going to your profile in the app, then 'Autosave settings' then 'Skip autosaves' and choose a date - it allows this for up to three months at a time so you'll need to remember to keep doing it. Note that the maximum you can deposit in a single transaction is £5,000 - if you want to save the full £30,000 you'll need to do it in six lots of £5,000.

Which current account providers does it work with? Chip connects to most (but not all) major current account providers. It will work with Bank of Scotland, Barclays, Danske, First Direct, Halifax, HSBC, Lloyds, Monzo, Nationwide, NatWest, RBS, Revolut, Santander, Starling, TSB and Ulster Bank.

Are my savings safe? The money you put in is held by Allica Bank, which has the usual £85,000 per person protection under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. If you have any money in the Chip Savings Account, that's covered by ClearBank's protection.

How long do I have to keep the account? You can withdraw your money whenever you want - but you'll need to keep £1+ there until at least Saturday 13 November if you want the cashback. If after that point you want to save elsewhere, you're free to do so.

Check to see if you are entitled to Home Water Discounts.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
How does it work?

The HelpU tariff helps the lowest income households in our region. If you qualify, we will cap your water bill so you won't pay over a certain amount for the year.
The annual HelpU charge is £291.30 (£124.01 for water, £167.29 for sewerage). The tariff is open from 1st August 2020.
Are you eligible?

To qualify for the tariff:

the water supply to the household must be for domestic use only

someone in the household must receive at least one means-tested benefit

the combined annual household income must be on or under the threshold for the household size as shown in the table below.

It's important to let us know the total number of occupants (including children) in your household and to include all the income your household receives from occupiers who live at your property who are aged 16 years and over.
Here's a list of types of the means-tested benefits which someone in the household must be receiving at least one of:

Universal Credit

Income related Employment & Support Allowance (ESA)

Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA)

Income Support

Pension Credit

Child Tax Credit (except families in receipt of the family element only)

Working Tax Credit

Housing Benefit

Council Tax Reduction (based on income, not just a Single Persons Discount)

Special Note: We exclude some types of income from the combined annual household income calculation:

Housing Benefit or Housing Element of Universal Credit

Council Tax Reduction / Support

Support Group, Work Related Activity Group & Disability/Carer Premiums on ESA

Disability Premiums on Child / Working Tax Credits

Disability / Carer Premiums on Pension Credit, JSA & Income Support

Disabled Child & Limited Capability For Working Elements of Universal Credit

Attendance Allowance

Disability Living Allowance

Personal Independent Payment

Carers Allowance or Carers Element of Universal Credit

You would also need to reapply for the tariff before the end of every 12-month period (you may reapply up to a month before expiry).

For more information please refer to our Terms and Conditions.
