The Government has introduced a new tax-free savings account for children, known as Junior ISA - they're a great new way to save for your children. We’re launching our stocks and shares Junior ISA in Spring 2012 (in the new tax year). It will offer all the tax-efficiency of an adult stocks and shares ISA – meaning no personal tax on any income or profit earned has to be paid – but it's designed especially for children.

Who can open a Junior ISA?
You can only open a Junior ISA on behalf of a child who is eligible if you are a parent or have parental responsibility for that child. If a child is between the ages of 16 and 18 they are able to open a Junior ISA for themselves.
How will I be able to make payments into a Junior ISA?
You can make payments on an ad hoc basis in the form of a lump sum payment, via debit card or cheque, or on a regular monthly basis by setting up a direct debit into the plan.
