Primary School Aged Childcare Overseas Allowance - Now Live

Primary School Aged Childcare Overseas (PSACO) Allowance is now live.

The final phase of the Wraparound Childcare (WAC) Scheme is completed and applications can now be made for providing a reimbursement for the costs of before and after school childcare in overseas locations where WAC eligibility criteria cannot be met due to local rules and regulations or because Tax-Free Childcare (TFC) accounts are not available.

The launch of the PSACO Allowance means eligible Service families will have access to before and after school childcare funding in all overseas locations.

PSACO eligibility criteria and guidance can be found on the Discover My Benefits website from January 2026.

Wales: Chickenpox Vaccine roll-out begins today (2nd Jan 26) across Wales

A vaccination programme to protect young children against chickenpox is being rolled out in Wales.

All children aged 12 to 18 months across the UK will be offered a vaccine for chickenpox - also known as Varicella – for the first time.

The vaccine will be offered in a two-dose programme at 12 and 18 months of age using a combined MMRV (measles, mumps, rubella and varicella) vaccine.

A catch-up programme for older children up to six-years-old will be offered later in the year.
