      I am a widowed mum with 11 year old daughter. I’m struggling with childcare during holidays and summer camps cost!
      Just looking to see what other working parents do.
      I’m currently signed off work due to stress and childcare/holidays part of the issue.
      Any advice welcome 🙏

      Hi Kazom, I don’t currently work at the minute however I was in the same job for 8 years. Now if you’re widowed which I’m so sorry to hear 😔 you should however depending on your earnings be entitled to help towards childcare. Depending on where you stay too some place put on playschemes which are relatively cheap. You should definitely be entitled to some help maybe contact citizens advice for more information and then get them to advocate with hmrc & benefit agencies. Take care D xx

Covering your tracks

You may not want other people to know that you’ve been searching for information or help from OPFS.

When browsing the internet whether on a mobile phone, tablet or computer, you leave a ‘history’ trail of pages and sites you’ve visited.

It’s impossible to completely avoid being tracked online but if you’re worried about someone knowing which sites you’ve been looking at, there are some things you can do to help cover your tracks.

If you’re using a laptop or desktop computer, try keeping another document or website open in a new tab or window while browsing. If someone comes in the room and you don’t want them to see what you’re looking at, you can quickly switch to another window or tab.

Deleting browsing history

You can delete the history of websites you’ve visited, but it’s important to know that if you delete your browsing history, someone else using the same device may notice.

If you share a tablet, mobile phone, laptop or computer with someone, they might notice that passwords or website addresses have disappeared from their history.
