Who benefits from changes made in this budget? Low-income families with children, particularly with three or more children, are clear winners. In 2028-29, a low-wage single parent with 3 children who receives UC will be £4,960 per year better off, thanks to the removal of the two-child limit.

“The fact they’ve said that, at primary level, terms like penis and vulva must be used is huge and really, really important.” A small addition to the RHSE guidance is likely to have a big impact on schools, finds @danworth.bsky.social www.tes.com/magazine/ana...

The traumatic experience of tribunals for EHCPs is often told from the parents' perspective - for good reasons - but looking at it from the school perspective tells us a huge amount about the disaster of the current system. Excellent piece from @ellencph.bsky.social www.tes.com/magazine/ana...
