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

And with record high levels of child poverty in the UK we welcome the government’s recognition that publication of the strategy is only the first step. There is much to do and we must now build on this momentum to achieve more tangible change for children. 2/2

All kids deserve the best start in life. No matter how many siblings they have, or what jobs their parents have, or if someone in their household has a disability. All deserve a good childhood – not just because it will set them up for a stronger future, but because they’re kids.
