Welcome to Care to Learn for Advisers and Providers

The aim of Care to Learn is to give financial support to teenage parents (including dads) who want to continue their education or training and need help with the cost of their childcare.

Care to Learn was rolled out nationally in 2003 and is part of the Government’s Teenage Pregnancy Strategy. It enables teenage parents to continue with, or return to learning after the birth of a child by assisting with the costs of childcare and associated travel. In doing this it contributes to the wider priorities of improving education and opportunities for teenage parents, decreasing their risk of being NEET (Not in Employment, Education or Training) and improving the life chances of their children.
