I feel that whichever Councillor is claiming for child care, will have to be all above board, Simon, and hours, etc., accounted for.

I think similar to Spuggie that a child of 15/16 years is quite capable of coming home from school and looking after themselves until the parent arrives home from work. It is sometimes when they are absent in the evening/overnight or longer periods that you need to have someone around to see to their needs.

Perhaps this is where you may have misunderstood the claim ? We really don't know the extent, do we ?

Sorry, don't know anything about tax credits.
