Universal Credit and childcare costs

Inquiry

The Committee looked into how well Universal Credit supports parents with childcare costs.

We focussed on:

• The requirement for parents to cover childcare costs upfront.

• The maximum amounts that the Government will reimburse each month.

• How easy it is for parents to get advice about what support they can claim for.
