Where to start?

[Benni]

Hi, just looking for some advice on how I go about taking on my toddler full time and what process I have to go through to stop work and  to claim social housing. Its a bit daunting to know where to get started so if anyone can give me a start I’d be most grateful. Thanks.

Hi to you guys that replied, sorry if my message is unclear but that’s exactly how I feel so just needed  a push in a direction to start, so I am grateful for the replies.  (which that in itself makes me feel more comfortable.) Thanks again I will start some research right now.
