Employment Minister Alison McGovern announced a shift in Jobcentre policy to provide long-term personalized support instead of forcing job seekers into low-paid work. This decision responds to concerns about welfare cuts, particularly affecting disabled individuals. A new approach includes using AI to alleviate the workload of job coaches, allowing them to focus on those with complex needs. McGovern emphasized the need for tailored assistance for young people and announced that GP and physiotherapist support would complement traditional jobcentre offerings to improve employment outcomes for those affected by cuts.
"I cannot live with the idea that there's people in this country who think that no one wants them."
"But she added she was deeply concerned about the numbers of young people out of work with many needing specialist help to even engage with job support."
