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.

RSHE guidance: Why properly naming body parts is a big deal Updated guidance saying that proper terms like penis, vulva and vagina should be taught to primary pupils has been welcomed by sex education experts and safeguarding leads
