Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what training his Department provides to Jobcentre Plus work coaches to help them support people in the Work and Health Programme.
The Work and Health Programme provides a tailored service specific to claimants’ needs, focusing on individuals that can be supported by a contracted provision to address work and health barriers. The Department for Work and Pensions’ communication teams are delivering tailored information to support the new process and to signpost staff to local support and the relevant instructions.
