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.

Today the government is introducing legislation to abolish the two-child limit. More than any other, this policy has driven children into poverty and cut them off from opportunity. Removing it is the right thing to do ā supporting future generations and giving all children a fair start in life.
