To take decisive action in ensuring transparency in Child Maintenance Payments.

What the petition asks
We seek to hold all parties accountable and safeguard the rights and interests of children. It is imperative that financial support allocated for children is utilised appropriately for their growth, development, and overall well-being.
I want the Government to act because many primary carers aren't ensuring Child Maintenance Payments benefit the child. The current CMS lacks a legal requirement for proof, risking funds not directly supporting the child's needs. Legislation is crucial for accountability, guaranteeing children receive the intended support.
