We built our social security system to be there for all of us when we need it. Scottish MPs must support it now. #WeDemandBetter.

We need bold cross-party action to make sure that every child in Scotland has a decent start in life.

Positive policy choices like the Scottish Child Payment are having a real impact for families. But too many families are still being overlooked and struggling to get by, and the interim child poverty targets were missed.

The economy and the social security system just aren't working for too many families who are struggling, and being overlooked by politicians. We're part of Scotland Demands Better: calling for real action for a better future Scotland.

Scrapping the policy in its entirety is the simplest and most effective action the UK Gov could take to tackle child poverty across the whole UK.

This is a welcome commitment from the Scottish Government that will improve the childhoods of children with more siblings in Scotland whose families are affected by the cruel two-child limit.

"Children across Scotland are currently bearing the brunt of a social security system that isn’t working, but politicians have the power to change this.". @CTelfc on how politicians can rebuild trust by investing in a better future for Scotland ✏️.

Great to be at the @ScotTories conference today. Looking forward to important discussions around tackling the housing emergency and the role of the labour market in driving down child poverty.

RT @savechildrenuk: The scale of investment in social homes is a gear shift for the UK Government. Alongside expanding free school meals,….

@EndChildPoverty But we are still allowing too many children and families to be overlooked. We need real investment today that will create a better future Scotland for all of us. All political parties in Scotland must commit to investing more in the SCP, childcare, housing, and fair work.

@EndChildPoverty While the figures are far too high, child poverty is lower across Scotland as a whole compared to the rest of the UK due to positive policy choices like the Scottish Child Payment (SCP). Investing in children and families works.

The economy just isn't working for too many families. New figures from @EndChildPoverty showing that children are living in poverty in every constituency in Scotland are heartbreaking evidence of this.

RT @savechildrenuk: We are concerned about rumours that the UK Government is considering alternatives to the two-child limit. The evidence….

"We are now just a year away from the next Scottish election and the Government is at risk of missing its own targets for reducing child poverty. We need all political parties to step up to the plate and work together for children.".

"Heartbreakingly, the poverty rate for families with a baby rose last year. 1 in 3 babies begin life in poverty. Having a baby should not push families into poverty. We need to see clear action from the Government to support families at this critical time in a child’s life.

"Progress is being made & child poverty is falling in Scotland. That is welcome and a result of good policy choices. We welcome further help for families with essential costs, but the changes are at the margins. We need bolder, quicker action to realise the scale of the challenge.

"A month ago, the Scottish Government missed its own child poverty targets. It is appalling that 22% of children across Scotland are being held back by poverty. This Programme for Government offers little to suggest a brighter picture for families next year.

Our statement from Head of Scotland @CTelfc on today's Programme for Government 👇. "We needed to see bold action from the Scottish Government today on child poverty, but this Programme for Government simply doesn’t do enough. 1/5.
