Employment: Advisory Services
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of introducing single-parent specific work coaches.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
Parents claiming Universal Credit have support from Work Coaches, who provide individual, tailored help to all customers across the country. This includes supporting the development of skills needed to look for and obtain sustained employment, advice to parents on childcare support and funding through Flexible Support Fund to remove immediate barriers to employment.
We are also considering how we can improve our employment support to parents as part of our Child Poverty Strategy.
