Welfare Reform Act 2012

Introduction

The UK Government is changing the benefits system. In Renfrewshire many people could be affected, if you are of working age and receive benefits. There may be a need for individuals to apply for a new type of benefit or people may receive less money than before. We know this could be worrying for your clients and customers.

Like us I’m sure you will feel it is important that as local service providers we all understand what could change and what we need to do to when planning services which may be influenced by these changes. Some of the changes to who the system of benefits work have already taken place but some of the most significant changes – the ones that affect local Council services – begin in April 2013.

This survey has been put together in a bid to capture local service delivery and will be used to inform the local third sector and local public bodies.  It will also be used to help identify the changing needs and demands being made on your service provision as a result of the implementation of the duties of the Welfare Reform Act 2012. In addition it will also hopefully provide a starting position for:

·         exchanging ideas on how to support existing services,

·         leading change where required and

·         sharing good practice.

We very much appreciate you taking the time to complete this survey – thanks!
