Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the answer of 15 October 2025 to Question 77776, whether his Department monitors the number of instances where work coaches (a) tailor (1) work and (2) work search requirements and (b) temporarily remove the requirement to (i) work and (ii) search for work for single parents under (A) compulsory switching-off and (B) discretionary switching-off requirements.

Work coach guidance supports work coaches to ensure that requirements are tailored to the circumstances of individuals.

This is not monitored centrally and so to provide the information requested would incur disproportionate cost.
