Around 1.5 million children live in households affected by the two-child limit. Parents we spoke to felt that their younger children had less access to enrichment opportunities - formal childcare, books, games, educational trips - compared with older siblings at the same age.

Representatives from Cliff Edge will be at Stormont tomorrow.

Today marks an unhappy birthday – the 7th anniversary of the two-child limit to benefit payments.

As part of the @endchildpoverty Coalition we have a message for Department for Work and Pensions – one they can’t ignore – it’s time to end the unfair sibling penalty.
