UC - conditionality and sanctions - new CPAG seminar

CPAG are running another of their fantastic seminars - this time on universal credit: conditionality and sanctions -

This half-day seminar will provide an opportunity for claimant advisers to:

- Consider the conditionality regime in outline and understand the key differences from the old JSA/ESA/IS regimes.
- Focus on the particular way the rules will work for parents with young children, carer’s and those with health problems: particularly looking at the potential problems that come from delegating to individual decision makers the power to decide what is reasonable for a claimant rather than having fixed rules.
- Think about ways of both ensuring the conditionality rules are applied to claimants in the most beneficial way for them and remedies for when things go wrong (challenging sanctions, hardship payments, appeals and public law challenges).

Held in Manchester on Thursday 17 November and London on Friday 9 December.

Hi
I put my name down for the Manchester one but haven’t heard back yet, my diary pretty full up around it… Any idea when confirmation of places will be given?

Hi Billy - thanks very much for booking - sorry you haven’t had confirmation - you should have - we’re going to send it again now.

Still some places left for both the Manchester and London seminars in case others interested - speakers are going to be Martin Williams and Simon Osborne from CPAG - they’ll be looking at differences in UC conditionality compared to other benefits and how that affects particular groups - and Sarah Clarke from the Public Law Project who’ll be looking at potential legal challenges -
