In place since 2017, the two-child limit has been punishing millions of children across the UK for having more than two siblings.

It's time for change.

[Sarah Williamson @Williamson_SE]

There’s a lot of brilliant work going on in Wales to improve child health and reduce health inequalities. But far too often it’s done solely on good will and is under resourced.

Now’s the time to prioritise child health. Excited to be leading this work👇🏻
