Quantitative CATI survey of 1,350 young parents who received Care to Learn (C2L) funding for childcare during the academic year 2006/07. Evaluating the scheme and the destination of the young parents since 06/07. Ipsos-MORI carried out the fieldwork, Inclusion wrote the final report.
Key findings suggest that Care to Learn was very important in supporting young parents in learning - 75 per cent of all young parents in the survey felt they could not have gone on a course without the help of Care to Learn in paying for their childcare. By providing financial support, which pays for childcare and transport, Care to Learn contributed to positive learning outcomes and educational progression of young parents. Importantly, it had a positive impact on reducing the proportion of them who were not in employment, education or training (NEET).
