Childcare providers should be paid by direct payment

Closed 547 signatures

What the petition asks

Parents/ Carers claiming the childcare element for childcare get paid into their accounts and then pass it on to their childcare provider. As a childcare provider I think it would be easier by paying the provider direct by the Inland Revenue.
