IYSS - Young Parents

Young Parents

Being a young parent can be difficult, especially if you are also trying to study or work. 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).
