The NEU is proud to stand alongside 100+ organisations in calling for the government to fully scrap the two-child limit. Every child deserves the best start in life. By scrapping the limit the government can deliver a shift in children’s opportunities and the UK's potential.

Ofsted’s new Nandos-style framework is just ‘high-level tinkering’ – not the urgent reform we needed for a fair, supportive inspection system. @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social this won’t fix recruitment or retention in schools #AbolishOfsted

Every day the cruel two-child limit pulls 109 children into poverty. If this government is serious about wanting to tackle child poverty head on, it must abolish this callous and backward policy.

Ofsted’s new reforms, rolled out this week despite widespread concern amongst the profession, will not support schools.
Educators deserve an inspectorate that supports them, not one that punishes them.

Pay cuts don’t just mean less for teachers, they force schools to stretch strained budgets to make ends meet.
Starving the system harms education, fails children, parents and communities.
