3. How to register

You can register for Break Time activities online. You will need to register each year.

Break Time memberships run from 1 April until 31 March.

Once you get confirmation that you are registered, you will get a membership number (unique identifier number) to use to book your child or young person onto activities and groups.

Registration reopened for 2024/25

Help

If you need any help registering please contact us or ask a professional involved in supporting your child or young person to help you.

If you've lost your child or young person's 7-digit membership number (unique identifier number) please contact us for a copy.

What happens next  

We'll need to check your child or young person meets the eligibility criteria to attend Break Time. As part of this we'll check Lancashire County Council's records. This will include checking if your child or young person is on the SEN Register or is known to the Inclusion Service.

We may need to contact you to discuss how your child or young person meets the eligibility criteria.

You will receive a letter within six weeks to tell you the outcome of your registration.

• If your child or young person is allocated 78 Break Time hours the letter will explain what you need to do next.  
• If your child or young person is not allocated Break Time hours, the letter will explain why this is.

Where the demand for Break Time exceeds the availability of the service, eligible children and young people will be prioritised for Break Time by the date on which their registration form was received.
