Southwark Council is working with broadband and mobile operators to provide free and discounted internet connections to families who are struggling to secure a reliable internet connection for families who are home schooling.  
 
You have been recognised as a possible recipient of the scheme.  We ask for the householder to complete the form below so we can understand how we can help you.
 
The purpose of the free connection is for pupils to access online learning, therefore there may be limitations to the service you receive.  
 
Here is some information you may find useful.
 
How much does it cost me?

There is no cost to you.  The broadband and mobile phone providers are offering the service complimentary to support residents who do not have access to a reliable internet service due to various circumstances during this difficult time.  Some equipment may be loaned to you.  If not returned, you may incur a fee.  
 
How long is the free connection available for?

This depends on the service we have available to connect you with and the location of your property.  What is certain is that you will receive a free connection to enable all home schooling pupils to continue their education throughout the lockdown period.
 
How long will it take to set-up?

We will look to set-up your connection as soon as possible.  We will contact you via email or phone to make the necessary arrangements within a few days of receiving your application.  We aim to provide a connection within 5 working days.
