Unlike under this government, there will be no #targets for #benefit #sanctions under #Labour Rachel Reeves Shadow Secretary of State for Department for Work and Pensions - DWP said: We pledge that there will be no targets for sanctions under a Labour government so that Jobcentre Plus staff are focused on helping people into work, not simply finding reasons to kick them off #benefits. We will also ensure that rules and decisions around sanctions are fair and properly communicated, and that the system of #hardship payments is working properly. It is deeply concerning that rather than preventing #hardship, our #SocialSecurity system at present seems to be exacerbating it. And while we applaud the work of #charities like The Trussell Trust, Oxfam GB and the volunteers and churches who are on the frontline of responding to these problems, our aim in the 21st century must surely be that the inspiring energy and generosity they exemplify can be directed to higher goals than simply ensuring people have enough to #eat.
