Text informing a parent/carer that a bubble has to close and a child needs to self-isolate
As you are a parent/guardian of a child or young person who has been told to self-isolate you may be able to get a £500 self-isolation support payment.
You might be able to get the payment if you cannot work from home and need to take time off work to look after them.
The child must:
- be 15 or under, or 25 or under if they have an Education, Health and Care plan (EHC)
- live with you
- normally be at school or in childcare
- have been told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace or their school or childcare provider
You’ll need to meet the other eligibility criteria and you’ll need evidence that your child has been told to self-isolate.
Any application must be received within 42 days of the start of your self-isolation period.
