Details
Care to Learn is intended to help enable young parents under the age of 20 to continue in, and return to education after the birth of a child by providing funding for childcare whilst the young parent is engaged in a study programme and is therefore not able to provide care for their child. Care to Learn can also assist with the cost of associated travel costs.
This guide provides information to all those involved in the delivery of the Care to Learn scheme in the 2014 to 2015 academic year. It provides general information about the eligibility criteria for the scheme which has been set by the Education Funding Agency (EFA).
The guide does not attempt to offer definitive advice for every situation; stakeholders who require further or more detailed help and advice should contact the Learner Support Service (LSS) who administer the scheme on behalf of the EFA.
