Bromley resident parent/carer/s should complete all sections of the Bromley application for the relevant application process.

Only applications from a person who is legally responsible for the applicant child will be accepted.  If a child does not live with their parent/s  and is looked after by relatives or friends, documentary evidence such as a will or court order are required as proof that the relatives are the child’s legal guardians. Private fostering arrangements must be registered with Bromley Children’s Social Care

In cases of parents living separately but with a shared care arrangement, the child’s principal address must be used.  A residence order and other legal documents will be required.  Bromley will only accept the permanent home address of the parent/carer who is in receipt of or registered for Child Benefit.
