The #AutumnBudget has finally scrapped the #TwoChildLimit, something we’ve campaigned for over many years. As our policy lead told @STV.news, ending the cap will lift 20,000 children out of poverty. This change is especially important for single-parent families who’ve been hardest hit.

Scrapping the #TwoChildLimit will be transformative for children across the UK. This was the right decision, and it will bring huge relief to families who’ve been unfairly pushed into poverty by this harmful policy. Our full response: opfs.org.uk/get-involved...

In our new research into the public debt crisis with @trusselluk.bsky.social & @opfs.org.uk, using Scotland data from @citizensadvicescot.bsky.social & @stepchange.bsky.social, we’re calling on all levels of government – at UK, Scottish and local level to act.

Our new research, in partnership with @trusselluk.bsky.social & @opfs.org.uk using Scotland data from @citizensadvicescot.bsky.social & @stepchange.bsky.social, confirms the impact of the public debt crisis is most often felt by women as they are more often caring for children.

Proud to have been involved in this important research, which shows single parent families are most impacted by public debt. ⬇️
