Quite a lot of policy related jobs currently advertised on Gov.UK website: www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk
Others in this thread from Goodmoves.org and some specific gov jobs. 👇(many Scotland based but not all).

Because the wording relates the three different policies & inaccuracies mean people don’t apply for entitlements. Also public confusion over changes affects understanding of poverty. Eg benefit cap (a different policy), still exists. That’s why it matters 🙄

Good news and nice to see the story but for accuracy it’s called the two child limit. Not benefit cap, not child benefit. No such thing as two child benefit cap. It’s the two child limit relating to child components of UC or CTC. Doesn’t relate to child benefit.
