Soon after you register for Child Benefit, the Government will send your child’s £250 Child Trust Fund voucher. Once you have received this voucher, you can apply to open your child’s Child Trust Fund account. As soon as your account is opened, the voucher will be invested on your child's behalf and you can start contributing to the account to help save for your child's future.

The value of the investment is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up. The investment can only be accessed by the child at age 18. Any additional money invested will be treated as a gift and therefore cannot be accessed by the parent or guardian at any point. Tax rules may be subject to change in the future.
