Im 23 and I want to go to college this September as a mature student.
Im on OFP and I have two kids, my oldest is in primary school and I also will have a 16 month old in September.
Im just wondering what my entitlements are once Im back in full-time education, i want to go to college and hopefully at the end of it be able to come off social welfare altogether, that's my goal anyway!
I wouldn't be able to afford childcare for my 16 month old full-time. Is there any childcare grants or anything I would be able to apply for once back in education?
I know there's a grant for college you can apply for but unfortunately this has nothing to do with childcare, if i cant get anything for childcare i wont be able to go to college, and I really have my heart set on doing this, like everyone else in this country Im barely scrapping by, so there's no way Id be able to afford childcare on my own, any advice would be much appreciated.
