The government is focused on reforming the current welfare system to get more disabled people and people with long-term health conditions into work. They published a survey on 6 February which suggests that 200k people claiming health and disability benefits are ready for work now if the right job or support were available.  We are expecting a Green Paper in Spring on their proposals to reform the health & disability benefit system and support people into work.  This best practice group will focus on that as well as the expected child poverty reduction strategy.

Why you should come to the best practice group:

• Keep up to date on key government proposals and policies
• Ask our HQN expert your questions on the implications of changes and proposed timescales
• Take part in useful, honest and open discussions
• Share best practice and ideas with others in similar roles.
