Commissioner’s response to the Scottish Government’s two-child limit announcement

Commenting on the Scottish Government announcement on the two-child limit, Rocio Cifuentes MBE said: 

“The two-child limit is a cruel policy that has no place in a caring society, denying children their basic rights and punishing them for circumstances outside of their control. 

The Scottish Government has signalled its intention to protect children from the impact of this policy; there is now significant pressure on the Welsh Government to act with the same urgency and determination for children in Wales.  

Where there’s a will there’s a way, and the Welsh Government must work with the UK Government to find that way for the thousands of families who will spend Christmas worrying about putting food on the table and heating their homes, and desperate for change.”
