Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps he is taking to improve training for (a) work coaches and (b) disability employment advisers to help ensure that jobseekers with complex disabilities receive support to (i) find and (ii) stay in employment; and if he will make a statement.

Learning products within the Work Coach and Disability Employment Adviser Learning Journey include learning around supporting and coaching claimants with complex needs to move closer to, in to, and sustain, employment.

To ensure the continuous improvement of our learning, the Work Coach and Disability Employment Adviser learning products are regularly reviewed with policy colleagues, work psychologists and representatives from service delivery, and utilising findings from our post learning evaluation. Any opportunities to improve are impacted across all the learning products and changes made as quickly as possible.
