Introduce child benefit voucher system for parents of more than two children

Closed 65 signatures

What the petition asks

We want the government to give vouchers to parents who have more than two children. Rather than giving child benefit for siblings born after the second child, the government could give vouchers instead.
This could ensure that extra child benefit goes towards safeguarding the child. They could be redeemed against child clothing, nurseries, food etc.
