Fantastic to see this from @johnswinney.bsky.social on the important research that @ruthpatrick0.bsky.social is doing on the positive impact of the Scottish Child Payment.

New study from LSE, York & Glasgow universities shows the Scottish Child Payment is transforming lives.
Without it, 70,000 more children would face deprivation and food insecurity.
We will keep investing in families and lifting children out of poverty.
