Children and Families
Britain has one of the Highest Family Breakdown Rates in the Western World
Reform UK believes that strong families are the bedrock of a thriving society – we will support family formation and give parents back control.
CRITICAL REFORMS NEEDED IN THE FIRST 100 DAYS:
Support Marriage Through the Tax System
As soon as finances allow, introduce a UK 25%
transferable marriage tax allowance. This would
mean no tax on the first £25,000 of income for
either spouse. This will help make work pay and
incentivise people trapped on benefits back into the workplace.
Choice for Stay-at Home Mums or Dads
The majority of mothers would choose to stay at
home more if they could. Front-loading the Child Benefit system for children aged 1-4 would give
parents the choice to spend more time with
their children.
Mandate Single Sex Spaces
Public toilets and changing areas must provide
single sex facilities.
Promote Child Friendly App Restricted Smartphones
Social media is associated with eating disorders,
anxiety, depression, suicide and the child mental
health crisis. Launch an inquiry into social media
harms
THEREAFTER
Review the Online Safety Bill
Social media giants that push baseless transgender ideology and divisive Critical Race theory should have no role in regulating free speech.
