We’ve long called on the @scotgov to use their powers to scrap the two child limit in Scotland and we’re pleased they have listened.
A very welcome move which will hopefully start turning the tide on need for food banks for larger families in Scotland.

Today #TaxJusticeScotland is calling for 5 key changes to our tax system to help every child grow up free from poverty and ensure public services/our environment/our communities thrive.
A fairer Scotland starts with fairer taxes #ScotBudget
ALT Key stepping-stones towards a fairer tax system 1 - Immediately launch a revaluation of properties across Scotland 2 - Be bold on changes to existing taxes, including but not limited to Income Tax 3 - Publish a time-bound and ambitious plan to tax wealth more efectively in Scotland 4 - Set out concrete options to raise more revenue to invest in cliamte action 5 - Develop proposals for new or reformed local taxes to incentivse businesses towards positive social and environmental behaviours

ALT As I reflect on the work that led to this moment..I think of the communities who face the harsh realities of inequality every day, whose resilience and courage continue to fuel my commitment to creating change. I accept this honour with gratitude, but also with a renewed sense of determination. May we all continue to challenge ourselves to dream bigger, act bolder, and fight harder for a world where poverty and inequality are no longer the norm but a chapter in our history that we have learned from, and overcome.

🔸 “Still not safe.” 🔸
Separation doesn’t always mean safety. Many mothers and their children still face coercion, danger and control as a result of child contact proceedings in Scotland. Scottish courts must do more to protect families from abuse that continues through legal channels. #StillNotSafe #16Days

📢"It's a lonely, never-ending nightmare."📢
Listen to a member of our Survivor Reference Group share her thoughts on how child contact systems in Scotland are failing to protect child and women survivors of #DomesticAbuse.
This #16Days during our #StillNotSafe campaign we're raising awareness of these failings and calling for bold, lasting change.
