WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 21st OCTOBER 2008
Question
Will the Minister inform members whether the "Access to Higher Education" course at Highlands College qualifies for child care assistance to parents under Income Support, and if not, why not?
Answer
The "Access to Higher Education" course at Highlands College is an intensive one-year course to prepare mature students for university entrance.
Given the major commitment and intensive nature of the "Access to Higher Education" course, it would be unusual for this course to be approved in respect of a parent who has the main care of a very young child or baby.
