thedailymirror--2020-12-02--Parents 'struggled to get free school meal vouchers due to IT issues'

Parents faced major delays in accessing free school meal vouchers in the first lockdown as the private firm running the scheme lacked IT capacity .
The Whitehall spending watchdog said French company Edenred had “ insufficient ” capacity to cope with demand for the temporary voucher scheme , with calls peaking at 3,940 per day in April .
The number of emails it received soared to 8,878 in the same month , as schools and parents complained they could not get the help they needed , the National Audit Office said .
Ministers were forced to intervene , with Edenred @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taken to process orders fell from almost five days in April to a few hours by July .
The report found the Department for Education did not know whether Edenred had made a profit from the chaotic scheme or how many children used the vouchers .
More than 10million vouchers were issued , which varied in value because they could cover more than one child in the same family and last more than one week .
The final cost of the scheme was estimated to be £384 million in October .
Meg Hillier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Committee , said : “ Edenred ’ s systems buckled under the pressure and schools and families found it much too difficult to get in touch when things went wrong .
“ DfE and Edenred eventually managed to turn things around , but too many parents had to wait too long to get the support they needed.
” Children ’ s Minister Vicky Ford said : “ The NAO has recognised the swift action we took so that eligible children could access this important provision while schools were partially closed , with £380 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ redeemed into supermarket gift cards by the time the scheme ended.
” The Government has faced sustained criticism over its free school meals provision during the pandemic .
Footballer Marcus Rashford forced Boris Johnson to u-turn twice on scrapping the scheme in the school holidays with a high-profile social media campaign .
Around 1.4million children in England were eligible for free school meals in January .

The National Audit Office said the firm running the scheme to give £15 vouchers to hard-pressed families had 'insufficient' capacity to cope with demand during the first coronavirus lockdown

thedailymirror--2020-12-01--Rookie Kelleher's two Alisson moments make dream night for Liverpool goalkeeper

Jurgen Klopp is no stranger to running onto the Anfield turf to celebrate with his goalkeeper .
On Wednesday it will be two years to the day since he bounded towards Alisson to celebrate the fact that Jordan Pickford had just juggled the ball into the path of Divock Origi in front of the Kop .
Origi scored , Klopp gave Alisson a bear hug , and just thinking about that moment now only serves to remind you what football was like with crowds .
It was great , was n't it ?
Well it will soon be back .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ weekend , and those at Anfield might be returning to see the latest Liverpool goalkeeper given a hug by Klopp .
And how he deserved it .
Twenty-two-year-old Caoimhin Kelleher - a goalkeeper of `` natural football playing ability '' said Klopp post-match - was given the opportunity to fill Alisson 's shoes against Ajax .
A fifth competitive Liverpool appearance for the Cork-born youngster , and a first in Europe .
It went rather well .
In years to come he 'll have to imagine that crowds were there were witness what @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at full-time .
Kelleher got a hug and a squeeze from his manager after a fine performance which radiated calm at a time when Liverpool needed it .
The loss of Alisson to a hamstring injury would surely have threatened to send Klopp over the edge given the problems throughout his team , and that surely weighed on his mind when he opted to pick his usual third-choice over Adrian , a goalkeeper who has burned out many a Liverpool head this season .
Kelleher was n't tarnished by the 7-2 at Aston @ @ @ @ @ @ @ season , and so while Klopp wo n't outwardly say it , it was important for what currently counts for his first-choice defence to have a different presence back there on a night when they were going to be tested .
But when they were , Kelleher stood tall .
He made a couple of comfortable saves in the first period , nothing that you would n't have expected from him , but in the second he was needed for the bigger stuff , springing to his right to push out an effort @ @ @ @ @ @ @ late on .
Nine days after that Everton game in December 2018 , Liverpool edged past Napoli 1-0 to qualify for the last-16 of the Champions League .
It was a game that featured a fine late save from Alisson at the Anfield Road end as he kept out visiting forward Arkadiusz Milik , with the Pole possessing the very future of Liverpool 's Champions League run at his feet at that moment .
They went on to win the whole thing .
Kelleher 's save from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar was n't quite as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pivotal for Liverpool in terms of qualification .
They still had FC Midtjjlland away next week of course .
But it now means that the Reds can go there knowing that they 've won the group , and that Klopp can pick whatever team he likes .
Jordan Henderson 's smile at full-time when he was informed of that fact showed that he knows he 's getting a midweek off .
So it was a big save at a big time for the goalkeeper .
Right now he 'll be a popular figure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ played a lot more matches for Liverpool , and those who will go on to do so .
Tasked with standing in for one of the very best in world , Kelleher stood tall .
Will Liverpool win the Premier League again ?

Kelleher wasn't tarnished by the 7-2 at Aston Villa or more pertinently Atletico Madrid last season, and so while Klopp won't outwardly say it, it was important for what currently counts for his first-choice defence to have a different presence back there on a night when they were going to be tested.
But when they were, Kelleher stood tall.
He made a couple of comfortable saves in the first period, nothing that you wouldn't have expected from him, but in the second he was needed for the bigger stuff, springing to his right to push out an effort and then saving his best for last late on.

Kelleher's save from Klaas-Jan Huntelaar wasn't quite as dramatic, and nor was it absolutely pivotal for Liverpool in terms of qualification. They still had FC Midtjjlland away next week of course.
But it now means that the Reds can go there knowing that they've won the group, and that Klopp can pick whatever team he likes. Jordan Henderson's smile at full-time when he was informed of that fact showed that he knows he's getting a midweek off.
So it was a big save at a big time for the goalkeeper. Right now he'll be a popular figure with plenty of his teammates who have played a lot more matches for Liverpool, and those who will go on to do so.
Tasked with standing in for one of the very best in world, Kelleher stood tall.
He deserved that Klopp hug.

Curtis Jones, Neco Williams and Caoimhín Kelleher all made key contributions as Liverpool secured their place in the Champions League knockout stages with victory over Ajax at Anfield

Jones, who looks a star in the making, but it was Kelleher, preferred ahead of the vastly more experienced reserve keeper Adrian, who took even more plaudits, with some outstanding stops, including one impossible save in the dying seconds.

It was Kelleher who proved the manager’s judgement correct.
The Republic of Ireland keeper was delighted with his display, and he said: “It was an amazing moment for me, to make my debut especially in a Champions League game was massive for me.

Sophie's post came one day after it was confirmed that all 124 Debenhams stores are set to close after final efforts to save the chain failed.
An estimated 12,000 employees are likely to lose their jobs as a result of the liquidation.
At the start of November, Sophie sobbed during an episode of Gogglebox following Boris Johnson's news that there would be a second lockdown.
During the emotional clip, Sophie became tearful as she reflected about people's jobs and livelihoods being affected by the latest lockdown measures.
She added that the lockdown was "s*** for everyone."
Today as the lockdown measures were lifted, Sophie returned to Debenhams just one day after staff were notified that the department store would be winding down trade.

In 2017, the town council invested in a modern, wigwam-style tree costing £300, however within days it had been destroyed.
The replacement tree that was donated quickly saw its lights ripped down twice, which led to councillors deciding to switch off the lights before Christmas.
This wasn't the first time either as just weeks earlier the town's metal framed tree was torn down too.
This year's rooted tree was planted in response to the vandalism in the hope it would stand up to the test.

“Due to the vandalism in previous years, it was hoped that a rooted tree would be safer, and also kinder to the environment,” said the town council.
It's unquestionably been a difficult year, and Connah's Quay's Christmas tree seems to have felt it too.
While some on social media have understandably condemned the tree as a "shame", others have applauded town councillors for doing what they can in tough circumstances.
No carol singing or school visits will be held around the tree because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The council is trying to use fertiliser to revive the weary tree.
“In time we hope it will thrive to become a focal point of positivity at Christmas,” said the council.
The tree will not be lit this year but the council has pledged to “look at other options”.
It will also consider longer-term solutions based on public feedback.

When approaching a roundabout
If you’re approaching a roundabout, make sure to keep an eye on the vehicle in your mirrors. Its lane position and indicators should tell you where it wants to go, so you can decide if you need to take action.
If you’re already stopped at the roundabout, move to the side if you can to give the emergency vehicle space to pass.
However, don’t drive into the roundabout if it is not safe to do so, and look around before moving off in case a second blue light vehicle is approaching.
On the motorway
In free-flowing traffic, move to the left when it is safe to do so. An emergency vehicle will only pass you on the right.
In stationary traffic, if there is a hard shoulder, it is likely emergency vehicles will use this to move past any traffic.
However, if there is no hard shoulder on a three-plus-lane road, drivers in the left and middle lanes should move left, and the rightmost lane should move right.
This creates what's called an 'emergency corridor' - a gap between the cars - for the flashing light vehicles to safely drive along. Keep the corridor in place even when vehicles have passed in case more are coming.
Remember, it is illegal to use a 'red X' lane on a smart motorway, so when you see these move over as soon as it is safe to do so, even if you can’t see an incident.
Emergency vehicles will use these lanes when safe to do so, and they create a safe barrier between motorists and an incident ahead.
Rolling roadblock
Occasionally, police or motorway officers will put a 'rolling roadblock' in place.
This is when a motorway patrol vehicle or police car slows traffic – it will usually have its lights flashing and illuminated instructions such as ‘Don’t Pass’ in the rear window.
Follow the instructions and stay behind the vehicle, stopping safely if instructed to do so. The vehicle will pull to the left and indicate for you to pass when an incident has been cleared.

Immigration Minister Chris Philp lashed out at web giants during an appearance in front of the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee
"Morally reprehensible” social media giants were warned to remove adverts by people-smugglers peddling perilous, illegal journeys across the English Channel today.
Immigration Minister Chris Philp threatened to name and shame firms hosting adverts for dangerous voyages, accusing them of peddling traffickers' “marketing material”.
He told the Commons Home Affairs Committee: “Where law enforcement agencies like the NCA (National Crime Agency) point to material which is inciting illegal activity or is effectively acting as marketing material for ruthless people-smugglers, then social media companies are under a moral obligation to take that material down very quickly.
“If it turns out that the social media companies are continuing to behave in this way, it is something which I will be raising directly with them.”
He added: “I would certainly be prepared to name companies in future who are not acting in a proper manner.
“It is morally reprehensible for social media companies to leave this material online when it is acting as marketing collateral for criminals.
“They aren’t going far enough in my view, they sometimes hide behind procedure and policy where common sense would dictate they should take a different course of action.”
He accused those arranging dangerous cross-Channel voyages of “exploiting migrants for financial gain”.
