Parent's guide to money

The Parent's guide to money is a practical, reliable, impartial and free resource for expectant parents to answer questions about their changing financial circumstances and to help them prepare for the arrival of a baby.

A handy-sized booklet, the guide has sections on the key issues such as maternity and paternity leave, the cost of childcare, child tax credits, Child Trust Funds, and saving and borrowing. Parents can dip in and out to find the information they need when they need it. There are also ‘Useful contacts’ pages at the end of each section to signpost to further sources of information.

To find out more, see our website, which has lots of information, resources and calculators to help you plan, budget and save.
