Welfare Reform Bill

I am not sure whether we do. I can see the benefits of doing so. I am advised from the Box that we do. There are also issues around the training that our disability employment advisers get. They undergo extensive and specialist training on top of that undertaken by generic advisers. This includes 52 hours of training on effective communication and support to disabled customers with more complex support needs. I could also go on about the training for personal advisers on learning disabilities. A range of training is undertaken.
