Parents in receipt of Universal Credit could benefit from a change made to the system from this week.
The appointments include exploring steps to improve their skills, identifying support needs, learning about childcare provision, and boosting their confidence.
Parents with a one-year-old will start to have a work-focused meeting with their work coach every three months instead of the current every six months. Parents with a two-year-old meanwhile will start meeting with their work coach every month instead of the current every three months.Minister for Employment, Guy Opperman MP, said: “From today, thousands of parents of young children will start to meet their dedicated work coaches on a more regular basis.
We’ve already taken steps to support families by increasing the amount of help through Universal Credit and providing upfront childcare costs.” Maximum childcare payments for families on Universal Credit rose by 50%, meaning people can now claim up to £1,630.
