There is no evidence of sexual violence training having been given to public sector workers.

Campaigning SNP MP Alison Thewliss has accused the UK government of trying to sneak through its ‘medieval’ rape clause and pernicious two child policy without a vote or debate.

The rape clause refers to the government’s decision, announced in the 2015 July Budget, to limit tax credits to two children per family – with a couple of exceptions, one of which was if the third child had been conceived as a result of sexual violence.
