A must-listen letter to UK MPs from participants of the Benefit Changes and Larger Families project explaining why the two-child limit and the benefit cap need to be scrapped.

Latest policy briefing from the Benefit Changes and Larger Families project reports on interviews conducted Nov 23-Jan 24. Shows going without on a daily basis has "just become the normal thing now". Both the two-child limit and the benefit cap need to go. largerfamilies.study/publications/c…

Report on the 2-child limit from Martin O'Neill concludes: "The policy is unfair in multiple dimensions, while also being a policy that has manifestly failed even on the terms by which it is supposedly justified, and carries with it a range of further negative consequences."

We worked with the Observer to highlight shocking new stats on the 2-child limit. This policy is pushing the most vulnerable families into poverty 20% of households affected have at least 1 disabled child, and 25% of all households are single-parents with a child under 3.

Benefit capped households won't see a penny more from today's benefit uprating. New briefing out today from Nuffield Foundation-funded Benefit Changes and Larger Families project shows the harms the cap causes and explains why families can't escape the cap. largerfamilies.study/publications/n…

My latest article shows that the Universal Credit conditionality regime harms mothers' employment prospects and caring responsibilities regardless of social class, but sometimes the negative effects are exacerbated for working class mothers cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Really looking forward to working with such a fab team on this new project that will explore devolved social security across the four nations.

New article with Jamie Redman, Kitty Stewart & Prof Ruth Patrick. The 2 child limit and benefit cap are causing children great harm in the here & now and are highly likely to have life long negative impacts. Strong evidence for why both policies need to go. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…
