Action for Children has released a report discussing how children will be affected by the benefits cap. 

Key points include:
  • 89% of affected households will contain children
  • Families face having to move up to 200 miles to find somewhere they can afford to live
  • More children will become homeless – last year saw a 19% increase in the number of children living in B&B accommodation
  • Some schools in inner London risk being left without pupils

The Children’s Society’s Chief Executive, Matthew Read, said in a statement that twice as many children as adults will be impacted by the benefits cap. 

His key points include:
  • 140,000 children will be affected by the benefits capped, compared to 60,000 adults
  • Almost half of adults affected will have children aged 4 or younger
  • Children will be forced to leave schools, friends and support networks as a result of their families being forced to move to find cheaper rents
