This government promised action on child poverty, scrapping this policy is the quickest way to lift 350,000 kids out of poverty immediately.

We're proud to be one of the organisations calling on the government to fully scrap the two-child limit. 4.5m children are being denied the opportunity to thrive. We urgently need to end the poverty which blights childhoods and holds our children back in so many ways.
We’ve joined 100+ others in calling for the government to fully scrap the two-child limit. Every child deserves the best start in life. By fully scrapping the two-child limit the government can deliver a decisive shift in children’s opportunities, and in the UK's potential.
