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.

Our Campaigns Officer, Evangeline, visited Department for Work and Pensions today as part of the End Child Poverty coalition to mark the upcoming 7th anniversary of the two-child limit.

This cruel, unfair policy plays a huge part in child poverty. We can't let it see another birthday

Each year this abhorrent policy is in place, more and more children and families are being plunged into poverty.

It was unworkable 7 years ago, and remains so today. The two-child limit must be scrapped. ❌
