Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking to provide personalised support to jobseekers.

We are ending the one-size-fits-all approach by reforming both the welfare and employment support systems to Get Britain Working, opening-up employment opportunities in a fair and more sustainable way to boost economic growth.

We announced in the Pathways to Work Green Paper that we would establish a new guarantee of personalised support for all disabled people and people with health conditions claiming out of work benefits who want help to get into or return to work, backed up by £1 billion of new funding.

This is alongside our Connect to Work and WorkWell programmes that provide support to disabled people, those with health conditions, and those with complex barriers to employment.

Our new jobs and careers service will help more people into work and to progress in their careers with an enhanced digital offer and self-serve options whilst our Youth Guarantee will ensure that all young people aged 18-21 in England have access to quality training opportunities, apprenticeships, or employment support. Through our local Get Britain Working plans we are asking local government and Jobcentre Plus leaders to work collaboratively to join up the local work, health, and skills provision and tailor this to local needs because places, like people, need tailored support.
