💨 Abstract

The author argues for reversing a Tory policy that limits the universal credit supplement for children to just two per family. Drawing from personal experience, they assert that financial support is crucial in tackling child poverty. They criticize the effectiveness of the existing policy and the lack of reliable statistics on child poverty. The author suggests targeted support for families with disabled children or multiple births, increasing child maintenance enforcement, and providing comprehensive, tapered support to help families achieve self-reliance.
