child care paid while on jsa

scousedave

Hello.
Im currently on jsa and desperately looking for work but part of my jsa agreement is that I cntinue to go to college 1 day a week.
Can I get my childcare costs over the summer months while my children are on school holidays as the college I attend do not close down?

for childcare costs from tax credits you need to be working. Do you have family or friends that can look after them the one day a week the other option would be to speak to the college about what financial assistance they could offer although this is likely to be limited for a part time course

Unfortunately I dont have family and friends thatare free during the days that I go to college.
I was rather hoping if there is an agreement in place then I would be able to get help in order to be able to fullfill the agreement.
