New analysis: Benefit cap blocks support for 1 in 5 families hit by two child limit | Policy in Practice

New blog post - "Adolescents struggle with their mental health: blame austerity, not parents" - @gmari.bsky.social argues that the blame for adolescents struggling with mental health should be on Tory-led slashing of benefit programs, not on parents #austerity www.cost-ofliving.net/adolescents-...
Adolescents' mental health: blame austerity, not parents

We're being told the #Budget will scrap the #2-ChildBenefitCap but thousands of children in Britain's poorest families will remain in poverty unless the overall #BenefitCap is also scrapped. The Government will be giving with one hand and taking with another #DWP #TheTreasury

Over 4,000 children in Stroud live in relative poverty.
We've started to tackle child poverty through action like expanding free school meals, but we must go further.
Today I urged the Minister to raise the benefit cap — we have the tools to end child poverty, and it's time we used them.

A piece from our founder in the @bigissue.com
The majority of people impacted by the benefit cap are single parents because of how its designed.
We shouldn't be targeting one group of people for financial hardship.
It's time for both the two child limit and the benefit cap to go.
