Truss must deliver for vulnerable children

THE new Prime Minister must make good on her pledge to deliver, deliver and deliver.

Last Thursday was D-Day for millions of families with children and will determine whether they go under this winter.

Few of us will escape the pain of soaring living costs, but it’s a different world of pain for families on benefits who are already rationing the basics, with nothing left to trim.

We welcome the Prime Minister’s recognition of this crisis, but the support package must include proper targeted relief for families with children as they face higher costs.

The simplest and quickest way to do this is by raising benefits and adjusting payments for family size and needs.
