Redundancy and single parent

in Redundancy & redundancy planning
Hi everyone,
I work from home and am a single parent to my son (he spend about half the time with me at home). I've been furloughed since April, but have just been told that my job is at high risk of being made redundant - I work in the arts, which has been hit dramatically. I'm a little worried about being redundant but more worried about the details of finances and how I find work, having created my work-life around being a single parent at home/ school run etc.
Job options?
Support options?
Benefit options?
Any advice is most welcome...
