This instrument amends the Family Start and Early Start (Childcare Assistance) Programme established and approved on 12 September 2005 under the Social Security Act 1964 (and saved by Schedule 1 of the Social Security Act 2018 as if it were made under section 101 of that Act).

The amendment is to ensure that the assistance may continue to be paid during a child’s temporary absence, due to COVID-19 requirements, from an early childhood education programme.
