Closed petition Scrap the 2-child benefit cap
We think the government should scrap the two-child benefit cap to support struggling families as we think this policy pushes many children into poverty and worsens inequality. We think scrapping the cap would provide vital support, alleviate hardship, and ensure equal opportunities for all children.
More details
We think the two-child benefit cap forces families into poverty and disproportionately affects low-income households, leaving children without basic necessities. Labour opposed this policy when it was introduced, and now in government, we think they have the opportunity to act on their principles. We consider that removing the cap would reduce child poverty, tackle inequality, and support struggling families. Every child deserves equal opportunities, and we think scrapping this cap would be a vital step in creating a fairer society.
