We Will Help People Into Jobs And Cut Benefits From Those Who Won’t Work

We have launched a radical programme of reform that will provide the ladder of opportunity for millions of British people. It will be the biggest shake-up of the welfare state for 60 years. Key elements of our programme include:
• Every claimant potentially able to work will be engaged in welfare to work activities aimed at helping them back into work as quickly as possible
• For those unable to find work there will be long-term community projects to help them get back into a working environment
• Those not willing to take part will face tough sanctions.
Our welfare programme will be delivered by private and voluntary providers, who will only be paid when someone gets and keeps a job.
