1 in 9 kids are affected by the two-child limit. The govt’s moral mission to tackle child poverty will make our country a better place, but families need action not just words. Giving all kids the best start in life will be impossible until govt scraps this brutal policy.

As @sarzogz says, the govt has said it's its moral mission to eradicate child poverty. The only way it can start to do that is by scrapping the two-child limit. It pulls 109 kids into poverty every day. If it doesn't, child poverty will be higher at the end of this parliament.
The Children's Commissioner has joined calls for the government to scrap the two-child benefit cap, saying some children in England are living in an "almost-Dickensian level of poverty." In a new report led by Dame Rachel de Souza, some young people have described living with rat

government will next have to invest in direct support for struggling families. The two-child limit must be urgently scrapped to significantly reduce poverty overnight and give our children a much better chance at life, development and learning. 2/2.

We welcome this investment in giving every child the best start in life, and know that when done well early years services can shield families from some of the worst effects of poverty and support children’s outcomes. But to meet its moral mission to reduce child poverty…1/2.
Building on the legacy of Sure Start, we're creating up to 1,000 Best Start Family Hubs across England. The Rainbow Family Hub in Washington provides vital support to support children and families. Backed by ÂŁ500m, our hubs will reach half a million more children by 2028.
