Care to Learn



If you are a parent and are under 19 and going to be in learning or training, we can pay for your childcare.

You can claim up to £5,125 per year for your child care costs whilst you are attending school, college or another education provider.

Why should I learn?

Doing a course or training will help build a better future for you and your child(ren).

It will also help you:

  • develop new skills and greater confidence
  • improve your chances of getting a job
  • mix with other people and get out and about
  • become more independent
  • perhaps get new qualifications.
