Our research into UC work requirements for single parents highlighted the need for better communication and a claimant committment which outlines rights& responsibilities Our suggestion includes outlining training & commutes easements and being able to request a review online
Children's centres provide a vital service for single parent families. If you're local have your say.

TODAY (24th April) IS THE LAST DAY FOR COMPLETING @hackneycouncil’s CONSULTATION SURVEY ON CHILDREN’S CENTRE CLOSURES! Please oppose all changes & closures: consultation.hackney.gov.uk/children-educa… No cuts to quality, affordable #EarlyYears provision! No privatisation! #SaveOurChildrensCentres!
The written submission we made to the @CommonsWorkPen for the non-inquiry evidence session that we gave evidence at is available from their website here: committees.parliament.uk/committee/164/…

The wording and implicit messaging off this article is both damaging and offensive. Single parents already work hard and these calculations just don't add up.

Thank you @SglParentRights for highlighting our research in @CommonsWorkPen session on the Back to Work plan. Employers we spoke to raised significant concerns about the extension of conditionality to working Universal Credit claimants parliamentlive.tv/event/index/25…
It was great to go along to this evidence session. Increased work conditionality for mothers has crept up for many and @SglParentRights have shown that the system needs to change. It was good @Dr_KatyJones research was also quoted.

Yesterday we gave evidence at the Work & Pensions Select Committee on the impact of increased conditionality on single parents We need a social security system which supports single parents and doesn't penalise them. You can listen to our evidence here: parliamentlive.tv/event/index/25…
Great article highlighting our research into UC work requirements and single parents by @LaurenMedlicott Single parents are already doing one of the hardest jobs going, they don't need to be punished on top if they can't work 30 hours on top. stylist.co.uk/money/universa…
With childcare being a very hot topic right now, both in Westminster and with parents, I spoke with single mothers about the impact Universal Credit changes are having on their families. @SglParentRights @EllenCScott @StylistMagazine @PregnantScrewed stylist.co.uk/money/universa…
Benefit capped households won't see a penny more from today's benefit uprating. New briefing out today from @NuffieldFound-funded Benefit Changes and Larger Families project shows the harms the cap causes and explains why families can't escape the cap. largerfamilies.study/publications/n…
"it’s fun being a supermarket ninja flinging coupons and racking up savings.. picking up discarded children’s books and toys from the side of the road, but it’s not a story I’m going to like telling when colleagues ask me about my weekend." Real lives behind the 2-child limit
It was great to have one of our activists along talking about her experience of this cruel sibling tax. Take a read of her letter to party leaders on the link below. @RishiSunak @Keir_Starmer

Once more single parents are disproportionately impacted by cruel benefit policies The next government doesn't just need to abolish the 2-child benefit limit but conduct a review of how single parents are impacted by our social security system and ensure it supports all families

1/7: #Parents are struggling to meet the new conditionality requirements for Universal Credit, a snap workingmums.co.uk poll shows. 🧵
Today at Westminster, we confront the 7-year anniversary of #SiblingTax with an #UnhappyBirthday card. This cruel policy has driven countless children into poverty. With @EndChildPoverty, we demand the UK government abolish it and lift 250,000 children out of poverty. Read how…

“Instead of coaching Britons comfortably into the workforce, the DWP and Jobcentres demand they take poor-quality jobs, often inappropriate for their life circumstances and expertise.” 🖊️ @Anoosh_C newstatesman.com/comment/2024/0…
@PollardTom @NewStatesman @Anoosh_C @NEF @PollardTom An interesting article and I would be keen to see @NEF research as it develops - including public views on conditionality. I have worked on the policy and research side with single parents since 2009 and seen the steady rise of work conditionality. @SglParentRights
Ruth Talbot, inspirational founder of @SglParentRights explains why she supports our campaign to stop the closures of #Hackney’s #SureStart Children’s Centres👇They “provide a lifeline for single parents” …ackneyschildrenscentres.wordpress.com/our-supporters/ #SingleParents #childcare @Gingerbread 1/2

@SglParentRights They are going to just 'love' the conditionality that comes with the 15 hours of work when AET increases to 18 hours in a few weeks time.
@SglParentRights Why is it ALWAYS about money?
Cool work from DWP who printed this poster saying a single parent would be better off working 15 hours at minimum wage than being on UC, but completely forgot about childcare costs - and rather optimistically decided a family of 3 could rent for £450 per month 🤨
I wrote about what the experts had to say about this for @TheSun. (Spoiler: they're not impressed). Thanks to @Gingerbread, @turn2us_org and @SglParentRights for their thoughts. thesun.co.uk/money/27437162…

It was great to go along to this evidence session. Increased work conditionality for mothers has crept up for many and @SglParentRights have shown that the system needs to change. It was good @Dr_KatyJones research was also quoted.

I told my son yesterday that I had to pay for childcare so I could go to university to gain a degree to improve my career prospects. He was surprised. I do my best to educate my sons on issues that have affected my career. I want to work smart, not long hours even now.
Great article highlighting our research into UC work requirements and single parents by @LaurenMedlicott Single parents are already doing one of the hardest jobs going, they don't need to be punished on top if they can't work 30 hours on top. stylist.co.uk/money/universa…

@SglParentRights, I'm just highlighting this to you! It may already be on your radar, but it's just another form of discrimination.
We need more spaces that allow parents to bring theirs kids. This rise in dog friendly/ bring your dog to the office days is really jarring to see. Considering the amount of discrimination&prejudices placed on lone/single parents, not to mention the barriers we then face at work
@LaurenMedlicott @SglParentRights @EllenCScott @StylistMagazine @PregnantScrewed Eurgh. Childcare in this country is such a mess and so depressing. I don't know how we're getting it so wrong.
With childcare being a very hot topic right now, both in Westminster and with parents, I spoke with single mothers about the impact Universal Credit changes are having on their families. @SglParentRights @EllenCScott @StylistMagazine @PregnantScrewed stylist.co.uk/money/universa…
