Summary: 

The Department for Work and Pensions recently reviewed the employment support provided by Jobcentre Plus to homeless people. This review led to two main principles and a range of recommendations. This guidance explains more about what this means and how to engage with it.

DWP is actively seeking feedback on how successful voluntary agencies are in engaging with Jobcentre Plus - this guidance looks at what they want to hear about and how this can be fed back.
