Care to Learn

If you are a young parent Care to Learn can help pay for your childcare and travel costs while you’re learning.

The course that you enrol onto does not need to lead to a formal qualification, but you must be under 20 on the day you start. The money is available to both young mums and dads (although only one claim can be made). 

For help with an application contact:

• The Learner Support Service on 0800 121 8989, or by email to C2L@lsclearnersupport.co.uk

You may also be eligible for Education Maintenance Allowance click here for details.
