No, it is not.

It is the number of hours that the child works that is important. They have to inform Child Benefit if they work over 24 hours.

The link you gave only linked to the same one that I had given!

The link also refers to the fact you need to inform them whether the child stays in education or not.

It is badly worded. As long as the child is still in full time education the numbers of hours worked does not matter. The child can work a full time job during the school holidays. There's no need to report that if the child intends to go back to full time education after the half term break.

From the second link.......

If your child starts paid work for 24 hours or more a week and is no longer in approved education or training, your Child Benefit will stop.

Sorry but you are incorrect. Confirmed here in child benefit technical manual - https://www.gov.uk/hmrc-internal-manuals/child-benefit-technical-manual/cbtm07020
