Secure Futures for Children and Families

We know that the social security system, which is one of the ways that we as a society protect children from poverty, is not working. Over the last decade, child poverty has been rising, and it’s projected to rise even further in coming years. We're launching a new project, Secure Futures for Children and Families, that will ask and try to answer the question: 

What does a social security system that provides a secure future for children and families look like?

We are inviting contributors to consider the pros and cons of different social security models when compared against our principles. Over the next few months we will be inviting people with a wide range of perspectives to contribute to the review, through research papers, blogs, interviews and films. If you would like to find out more about the project, or are interested in making a contribution, please contact Sophie Howes, Senior Policy and Research Officer, [email protected].

Support the campaign against the two-child limit

We know that the two-child limit is harming children and causing poverty. As part of our All Kids Count campaign we are writing to the new Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Thérèse Coffey MP, and we're asking for your help to put pressure on her to lift the two-child limit by writing to your MP.
