| The government has released a White Paper containing, in its words, “Britain’s biggest employment reforms in a generation to get Britain Working Again”.
It includes an independent review into how employers can be better supported to employ people with disabilities and health conditions, and to keep them in the workplace. Other key features include: 1. Mental health support to be expanded to reduce waiting lists in areas with highest levels of unemployment; 2. Job centres to be transformed into a new national jobs and careers service, focused on people’s skills and careers instead of monitoring and managing benefit claims; 3. Every young person will have access to apprenticeship, quality training and education opportunities. We will be watching out for further developments and reporting on them in due course. |
