The two-child limit will go. @nuffieldfoundation.org research by the fab team below showed the limit & the benefit cap didn't meet their behavioural aims & harmed families.
Huge thanks to the team & to the families who shared their experiences. Evidence matters: today it seems it was heard.

I am delighted to share the launch of the @nuffieldfoundation.org Strategic Review to fund research that tackles some of the UK's biggest social challenges.
Our independence gives us the freedom to be open and objective in our approach and focus on the power of evidence to improve people's lives.

In an age of change and uncertainty, we’re asking: how can evidence improve lives and protect future generations?
Our Strategic Review sets out a £150m plan to do just that, as @gavin-kelly.bsky.social says “an ambitious agenda to create a fairer future"
