We want the government to give vouchers to parents who have more than two children. Rather than giving child benefit for siblings born after the second child, the government could give vouchers instead.

Give families an additional tax-free allowance for each child
Introduce a tax-free allowance for each dependent child under 18, in addition to the personal allowance, and ensure it is given to the parent with primary day-to-day care of the child.
Scrap child benefit and introduce universal free childcare for every family
Introduce universal, publicly-funded day care for children, including meals. This could support early development, ensure nutrition standards for children, reduce pressure on families, improve workforce participation for parents and strengthen the economy and productivity.
Keep two-child benefit cap for fairness and sustainable public spending
I want the government to keep the two-child benefit cap to support fair and sustainable welfare spending. Retaining the cap will help manage public finances responsibly and ensure that benefits remain targeted and effective for those most in need.
Universal credit increase for SEN and twins or other multiples of children
Increase funding for parents of SEN children and those who have had multiples such as twins/triplets in order to be able to afford more appropriate childcare like a dedicated Nanny for the family because childminders and nurseries for many in this situation are not able to accommodate such children.
Create a benefit for stay at home parents with children of preschool age
Stay at home mums and dads are often expected to return to work within a year of having a child. We think that is not enough time for a mother’s body/mind to heal and costs of childcare makes working pointless. We think a child should be with their parents at such a crucial age.
