| Synopsis: |
People can leave benefit for a range of reasons, not all of them positive. JCP's performance is currently measured primarily by the proportion of claimants leaving benefit by specific points in their claims. This takes no account of whether they are leaving benefit to start a job or for less positive reasons, including being sanctioned or simply transferring to another benefit. This risks JCP hitting its targets but missing the point. JCP must be very clearly incentivised to get people into work, not just off benefits. JCP should also conduct a more thorough initial assessment of claimants' barriers to employment in order to better identify the level of employment support required. DWP should work to establish a jobseeker classification tool to allocate claimants to separate work streams, ensuring that those facing the greatest challenges receive the most support.This report also makes a number of other conclusions and recommendations including: an independent review of the operation of benefit conditionality and sanctioning to ensure that the rules are being applied fairly and appropriately; collecting and publishing data on the number of claimants "signposted" to food aid by JCP and the reasons why these claimants were in need of assistance; and balancing the increasingly strict benefit conditionality rules with effective, in-depth employment support for those claimants who need it. DWP is required under the 2013 Spending Round to further reduce its running costs. At the same time Jobcentres are being required to implement changes that could substantially increase their workload |
