The 2-child benefit cap fuels poverty.

The SVP has long called for it to end - we support the Poverty Strategy Commission’s call to scrap it now.

Nearly 40,000 more children are missing out on vital support this year due to the 2-child benefit limit — that’s more children left behind than last year. It’s time for change.

The UK Government must urgently scrap the two-child limit.

Half a million children could be lifted from poverty by removing the two-child limit says Children's Commissioner.

The SVP agrees.

Ending the two-child cap is the single most powerful action the government can take to tackle the scandal of child poverty.
