New figures from @cpagscotland.bsky.social show it costs around £40,000 more to raise a child as a single parent in Scotland!
Single parents face higher costs and without the support to match.
It doesn’t have to be this way.

We’re in the @thecourier.co.uk today raising serious concerns about proposed cuts to children & family services in Dundee.
These cuts would be devastating for single parent families already under pressure.
More campaigning to come, watch this space 👀

Scrapping the #TwoChildLimit is a huge win.
But child maintenance reform still leaves big gaps, and families deserve better.
We’re ready to help deliver real change.

#ChildMaintenance needs reform at source, but Scotland can act now with practical, low-cost steps to improve access.
At yesterday’s Scottish Parliament roundtable hosted by @stu-mcmillan-msp.bsky.social, partners, MSPs & parents discussed both UK-wide reform and immediate Scottish actions.

The #AutumnBudget has finally scrapped the #TwoChildLimit, something we’ve campaigned for over many years.
As our policy lead told @STV.news, ending the cap will lift 20,000 children out of poverty.
This change is especially important for single-parent families who’ve been hardest hit.

Scrapping the #TwoChildLimit will be transformative for children across the UK.
This was the right decision, and it will bring huge relief to families who’ve been unfairly pushed into poverty by this harmful policy.
