Details

The materials on this page are designed to help you communicate with 15 to 18-year-olds and their parents or guardians about Child Trust Funds.

Child Trust Funds are long-term tax-free savings accounts which were opened for children with live Child Benefit claims, born between 1 September 2002 and 2 January 2011.

From 1 September 2020, the first set of children with Child Trust Fund (CTF) accounts will be turning 18 and will be able to withdraw money from their funds.

These children will need to be aware of their CTF accounts, and understand how they can access them once they turn 18. It’s also important that 15 to 18-year-olds are aware of their CTF accounts as, from 16, they can begin to operate their accounts, even though they won’t yet be able to withdraw money from them.

How to use these materials

The materials in this pack include social media images and leaflets which you are free to use on your own channels. We suggest that you share these materials with your communications team and people who manage your organisation’s social media channels.

All social media assets are formatted for various social media platforms.
