Help please: we're trying to recruit some more parent research participants in Scotland for our #FamilyFinances project. Specifically: parents who are receiving #UniversalCredit and #ScottishChildPayment and who have at least one baby (0-12months) in the household. Can you help spread the word?

Despite progress with #ScottishChildPayment making a difference to many families, there must be much more targeted action by the Scottish Government. Scot Gov must go further and faster for priority families which represent 90% of children growing up in poverty. #EndChildPoverty

This is clear insight from @jrf-uk.bsky.social on what next @ScotGov must do to meet their child poverty targets by 2030. This includes increasing the #ScottishChildPayment to £40, supporting parents into secure, well paid work and clear actions on affordable housing. #EndChildPoverty
240,000 children are in poverty in Scotland.
Every one of them is a reason for all political parties to deliver a better Scotland.
📝 We have published a toolkit to ensure that each party's manifestos is up to the task of meeting the child poverty reduction targets: www.jrf.org.uk/child-povert....

56% of people surveyed agreed that the #ScottishChildPayment should be increased from just under £27 to £40 per week. We’re calling on @gov.scot.web.brid.gy to raise the SCP to lift 15,000 children out of poverty.👓👇 www.aberlour.org.uk/news-item/po...

The reality is that #ChildPoverty still exists in the UK. Alongside 135+ orgs we're calling on the UK Gov to scrap the two-child limit and Scot Gov to increase the #ScottishChildPayment. Together we can #EndChildPoverty.

Child benefit isn’t devolved. So ScotGov will be mitigating the UK CB policy. As @thesnp.bsky.social do for other UK imposed policies. And you do know about the additional #ScottishChildPayment currently at about £25/week for each child? Praised as a game changer by @dannydorling.bsky.social
