I’m pleased you agree with our proposals and hope we can help you find work and balance out your child care comittments. Offering good quality affordable childcare is the key to helping many lone parents back into work. We're increasing childcare across the country, for example through schools offering childcare before and after school. It's worth paying a visit to your local Jobcentre Plus (JCP) to see what childcare is available in your area. It's often more than people realise.
Your JCP adviser will also be able to give you advice on the training and skills programmes we offer which are all designed to give you the best chance of getting your foot in the door with local employers. When you get back to work we also offer the In Work Credit of £40 a week which is designed to help with the initial transition costs of moving off benefits and back into work.
