Leading children's charity 4Children has warned the government ‘should tread very carefully' over plans to charge single parents up to 12% of any money collected through child maintenance services.
Speaking after the Public Accounts Committee chair, Margaret Hodge MP, described the plan as a ‘concern', 4Children chief executive, Anne Longfield, called on the Government to guarantee that every parent gets the maintenance they deserve. ‘Doubts need to be tackled about the fairness of introducing charges to those using a system which clearly isn't working properly,' she added.
