Labour's Two-Child Cap Abolition: A Boost for Child Poverty Fight
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
The Labour Governments decision to abolish the two-child benefit cap is expected to significantly reduce child poverty, particularly in areas like Camden. This move could lift over half a million children out of poverty nationwide and provide financial relief to struggling households. Local initiatives, such as council tax support and a pregnancy grant, are also playing a crucial role in tackling child poverty. However, more work is needed, including unfreezing the local housing allowance to make private renting more affordable.
