Support as costs rise can be vital for families that are already struggling. As the government considers options, we are calling for any support package to be proportionate to need, to reflect household size and to protect kids in poverty. Read more:

450,000 children no longer in poverty - and may more in less severe poverty - as the two child limit is scrapped. A change that will see children supported when their family hits hard times, whether they are the 1st, 2nd or 3rd child to be born into their family. A good start for every child.

Scrapping the two-child limit is a gamechanger for children who have been going without the things they need to learn & grow. This was one of the nastiest policies for children in modern times. Its removal is a ray of hope & an essential first step towards ensuring every child has a fair start.

A first ever birthday party for a 10-year-old, being able to afford the school trip without getting into debt, a new mattress for the kids - this is the kind of difference scrapping the two-child limit will make.

New data shows 4 million children are living in poverty. Removal of the two-child limit is an important first step in making life better for kids. But government will have to invest in sustained support for children and families to meet its ambition to give every child the best start.

The government has rightly recognised that school simply isn’t working for every child. The focus on securing better outcomes for children in low-income households and with special education needs is welcome and we know changes in the school system can make a difference. 1/2
