Why I’m calling on the government to scrap the two-child limit: Thea's story

I work full time with 17 years’ experience in my industry, I’m highly qualified and we live in London near my work, where I’ve called home since 2009.

The Scottish Child Payment is helping families, but more must be done to meet the 2030 child poverty targets
