Deliver childcare reforms for large families as promised

Deliver childcare reforms for large families as promised — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Ensure urgent implementation of Universal Credit childcare reforms so families with more than two children receive the increased support as promised, and clarify how transitional protection interacts with the new child element.

Additional details

The government announced it would remove the two-child limit for Universal Credit child elements and increase childcare support for larger families. Many now receive the new child element but lost transitional protection, so see no real gain. The increased childcare support for extra children is also delayed, with no timeline. We urge urgent delivery and full support as promised.
