WELFARE REFORM IN SCOTLAND

Thursday 23 February 2012- Edinburgh
The Welfare Reform Bill promises a radical overhaul to the way benefits are calculated, administered and distributed, with the aim of improving work incentives, simplifying the system and delivering vital savings.


The reforms, including the introduction of a Universal Credit, have massive implication for Scotland’s devolved services, citizens and policies. Capita’s 2nd National Welfare Reform in Scotland Conference provides a valuable opportunity to consider the impact of changes on citizens and service demand, and prepare your organisation for the new benefit system.

 

Featuring an expert speaker line-up, this event focuses on the key themes including:

  • Implementation plans for Welfare Reform and the Universal Credit
  • Protecting vulnerable groups including disabled people, tenants in receipt of housing benefits and disadvantaged families
  • Improving employment outcomes for claimants and the progress of the Work Programme
