This morning, @CommonsWorkPen are speaking to reps from @MuslimCouncil of Britain, @churchofengland and Interlink about the impact of the #twochildlimit - which is limiting support for families with children

@CommonsWorkPen @MuslimCouncil @churchofengland The policy should be lifted because in the UK we believe that every child should have the best start in life. This means access to free healthcare, a good education & a childhood free from poverty. We wouldn’t turn away a sick child from our hospitals or stop them going to school

@CommonsWorkPen @MuslimCouncil @churchofengland The two-child limit denies families the support they need from our social security system when they experience tough times - trapping kids in poverty. We need to help children thrive, by supporting parents to raise happy, healthy children.

@CommonsWorkPen @MuslimCouncil @churchofengland It’s right to support families when they need it most. Our government should lift the two-child limit and help all children thrive. Write to your MP to call for the policy to end: cpag.e-activist.com/page/47011/act… #AllKidsCount
