need advice

[EmilyJJ21]

I’m 21 with a 2 year little girl I’m currently working 12 hour shifts. her father has been in and our her life but since I started my job I became dependent on him for childcare due to the 8 till 8 start and finish times. Hes recently not been seeing his daughter and now this has left me in a mess with work. I’ve spoke to my manager and she cant change my working times. I don’t have anyone else to have her so I haven’t been able to go to work. This has left me in a bad situation and looks like I will have to leave my job and go onto benefits. Will I be sanctioned for this and how long will it take to get my first payment as I have Bill’s to pay and worried I wont get paid in time to pay my Bill’s.
