A recent survey has highlighted the devastating impact the two child benefit cap has on families, with parents saying the policy causes 'direct harm'.
Parents know the cost of raising a child is significant, and it's made worse by rising average childcare costs. Lots of families rely on support from the government, in the form of child benefit, child tax credits and the childcare portion of Universal Credit, in order to make ends meet. But since the two-child benefit cap was introduced in 2017, many families are being pushed into poverty as they try to deal with rising costs.
