The Government details people may be eligible to receive NI credits if they're a grandparent, or other family member, who cares for a child under 12, usually while their parent (or main carer) is working.
These credits must be applied for and since March 2020, recipients have been able to receive them for childcare provided over the telephone or video.
As it stands, it is still possible to apply for NI credits for the 2019 to 2021 financial years.
Additionally, "specified adult childcare credits" are available, which work by transferring the NI credit attached to child benefit from the original recipient to a family member who is providing care for a related child under 12.
