We continue to call on the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, to do the right thing and end the #2ChildLimit for good. There can be no half measures. This poverty creating policy has to go if we want to see real & meaningful progress in lifting children & families out of poverty. #budget25 #budget2025

#ChildPoverty is on course for record highs under the #2ChildLimit

As a single mum who once received milk vouchers, I’m appalled the old stigma of “make sure they can only use the money how we say” pervades…

It is plain wrong.

Lots of kids don’t need milk they need cash, some can’t drink milk.

What is the effect of the two-child limit on children’s school readiness? Research carried out by the IFS shows that despite significantly reducing the benefit entitlements of larger families, the two-child limit had no effect on children’s school readiness

In 2017, the UK government restricted benefits for children born after 6 April 2017, impacting the third and subsequent children. Nesta and the IFS evaluated this by interviewing 35 parents across four English regions. Report here: buff.ly/ORUkixu #SchoolReadiness #2ChildLimit #EarlyYears

Good Morning M

Absolutely 💯%!

It makes no economic sense to delay the lifting of the #2ChildLimit! It would immediately lift 💯's of 1000's of Children above the Poverty Line, and would give the Economy a Boost!
