What do you think the proposed changes to the Department for Work and Pensions made this week?

I think it is going to be the exact same thing as we have at the moment but a different title. Merging careers advice at the jobcentre is only to save money. And the carers advice is rubbish and it should be carefully monitored and the government should be questioned about this such as if you want to be a professional athlete or the next prime minister what advice are they going to give you to ensure you achieve this goal or are they going to say it is a rubbish job and career to have. The issue with this new way of jobcentres is going to be the exact same as what we have know the government are not providing the correct help and support to get into work and stay in work and are threatening use with sanctions all the time. That’s why Liz Kendall as already prepared a care of duty prepare the launch of the new jobcentre. But I hope charities and organisations speak out and allow individuals to speak about there experience at the jobcentre which then can be told in parliament as soon as possible.
