Teenage parents in Liverpool
If you are a young parent, there is lots of information and support available to you.
Your Connexions Adviser or link worker from your local children’s centre
(see list below) can give you further advice and information.
If you would like to return to learning, you may be entitled to EMA
You may also be able to get help with the cost of childcare if you return to learning,
through Care to Learn. This provides financial support for teenage parents who
want to continue in, or return to learning. It helps with the cost of their childcare and travel.
Care to Learn will pay up to £160 per child each week (£175 in London).
Young parents can get help if they are:
- Aged under 20 years on the day their course or learning programme starts
- On a course that receives some public funding at a college, school, sixth form,
or a course in their community e.g. at Childrens Centres or other forms of community learning
- On an Entry to Employment (e2e) or Apprenticeship programme (non-employed status)
- Living in England
- The main carer of their child
- Using childcare that is registered on the compulsory part of the Ofsted Childcare Register
and/or the Early Years Register
