If the government is serious about tackling child poverty, scrapping the two-child limit is a clear starting point. This policy caps the number of children that families can receive means-tested benefits for at two.

'Under existing social security policies, we project that the number of children in relative poverty could reach 4.6 million... by the end of the Parliament.' The government must start to reverse this trend by scrapping the two-child limit.

School leaders, governors & teachers are jointly calling on govt to scrap the two-child benefit limit. As a new school year begins, they say: - opportunity mission will be undermined with two-child limit in place - classrooms are full of hungry kids - schools can't mitigate this

"This policy harms children's lives now, but it also limits their future prospects." With the Child Poverty Action Group, we call on the government to scrap the two-child benefit limit and tackle child poverty.

Growing up in poverty can have huge effects on young people’s physical and educational development. As levels of child poverty in this country increase, urgent action is needed to tackle this issue. We echo Child Poverty Action Group's calls for government to scrap the two-child benefit limit ⬇️

"For too long now we have seen the ways in which child poverty is having a detrimental effect on the wellbeing, attainment and attendance of children and young people, and it is becoming ever more impossible for schools to mitigate this."

"We fear that the government’s mission to break down barriers to opportunity will be undermined, with child poverty levels rising year on year while the two-child limit remains in place." Our letter with school leaders, governors and teachers.

"Our classrooms are filled with children who are hungry, tired, and lacking the resources they need to succeed. They’re also distracted by money worries at home." - Our letter with school leaders, governors and teachers, calling for the government to scrap the two-child limit.

The six-month extension to the #HouseholdSupportFund is welcome news for people struggling to get by. But it is only a sticking plaster for the poverty crisis. We need a social security system fit for the 21st century that guarantees security and stability for all.
