You may get child tax credit if you're responsible for at least one child under 16 or young person in full-time education at school or college, or who's doing approved training on a specified programme like 'Entry to Employment'.
Tax credits are based on your household circumstances, so you'll need to give HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) information about:
Your income.
Your partner's or civil partner's income (if you have one).
