Wrap Around Childcare (WAC)

Hi, I am currently serving and due to leave in September after 11 years. My husband is remaining in service and is drafted in Portsmouth (away from our home in Plymouth). I will begin studying midwifery in September, and our son will teach school age next year whilst I am still in full time education. I have looked into the process of applying for WAC, which states you need a tax free childcare account, however, we will not be eligible for this whilst I am studying. Is there any other way to apply for WAC if one parent is in full time further education? 

HI JennyFrancis I have looked into this and the reply from the WAC Team is: 

In order to be eligible, the Service person and their partner must be in paid employment or starting or re-starting work within the next 31 days, and have a weekly income equivalent to 16 hours at the National Minimum or Living Wage.  As you are in full time education, and in line with existing Government policy, you will not be eligible to join the WAC scheme.
