UNISON has been pushing for the two-child cap on child benefit to be dropped for years.
Now the government has finally listened, ministers must continue to do all they can to ease the pain of cost of living pressures for those who need support.

Important action by @unisontheunion.bsky.social and overseas care workers on #InternationalMigrantsDay. Even migrants mums who arrived before current restrictions have been denied visas for their children. Migrant workers are holding up our NHS - they deserve better!
📹📢 Yesterday, hundreds of overseas staff working in social care and the NHS travelled to Westminster to lobby MPs over plans to restrict visa rules for care workers.
💜✊ Today, on #InternationalMigrantsDay, we recognise the migrant workers whose voices were at the heart of that lobby.
