CLF Employment Project Report 2
Dec. 10, 2010
A second report has now been produced by the consultants at Westminster and Southwark, commissioned to provide advice to CLF during the Department for Work and Pension's transition to its new welfare-to-work system.
The overall objectives of the consultancy project are to:
- To identify what opportunities exist for local authorities and sub regional partners to increase sustainable employment outcomes for their residents within the new financial and policy landscape.
- To build the capacity of the central London sub-region to use resources more effectively and in a more joined-up approach to achieve sustainable jobs for residents within the new financial and policy landscape.
- To distil the lessons learnt and best practise into two short and accessible reports that can be shared/replicated across London Boroughs/sub regions and can positively inform a London wide approach/LSEB strategy.
The second report focuses on practical steps which boroughs can take to maximise opportunities for their residents by, for example, building capacity in their local provider networks and exploring ways to capitalise on Jobcentre Plus’ Get Britain Working programme. The report also incorporates a more holistic analysis of the welfare system and draws attention to the future impact of the Universal Credit system.
