What changes are needed to support more people who want to get into and progress in work?

Universal Basic Income.

A higher personal allowance before needing to pay tax, so that lower paid jobs and part time employment are still financially beneficial to be in.

Quality childcare provision attached to more workplaces matching employees working hours.

A shift in focus from businesses being solely profit driven to being quality and service lead.

Creating the opportunities for new, properly funded jobs in the environmental sector.

Life long learning opportunities for all, in work or not.

Employers (and customers) who are more understanding and accepting of working alongside people with serious mental illness.

A 4 day working week.

End the hostile environment at job centres.

Trial periods of work so that employer and employee can leave without financial penalty.

A minimum wage of £15 per hour.
