These mums are right. It's unjust that the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) discriminates against the children of young parents.

In the #AutumnStatement, the Chancellor can make sure that every parent is entitled to the same level of social security support.

Join One Parent Families Scotland to say it's time to #EndYoungParentPoverty.

End Young Parent Poverty: Top up the Scottish Child Payment

Parents under 25 get less financial support than parents over 25! We know it’s not right, but this is what happens under Universal Credit.

❤️ People in Scotland believe all children deserve the best start in life.
💔 So it's completely wrong that young parents don't get the same level of social security support as others.
👍 But The Scottish Government can help #EndYoungParentPoverty.

We’re calling on the Scottish Government to help #EndYoungParentPoverty with a top-up to the Scottish Child Payment to:

Support children at highest risk of poverty
Promote gender equality #KeepthePromise
Mitigate DWP policy of paying <25s less in benefits
