Jobcentres: Liverpool Riverside
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 17 July 2017 to Question 4515, what estimate his Department has made of the number of claimants living outside Liverpool, Riverside who will be directed to jobcentres in Liverpool, Riverside; and if he will make a statement.
- Answer
-
Claimant numbers have fallen over the last 3 years and although it is not possible to provide a breakdown of claimant numbers who may be asked to travel to a jobcentre inside or outside the Riverside constituency, I can give assurance that the wider impacts on local communities were taken into account as part of review of our estate.
Our Work Coaches personalise the support they provide for each claimant based on individual need and circumstance, including the offer of home visits and postal signing where appropriate. The needs of vulnerable claimants, such as those limited by a health condition or disability or because of caring responsibilities, are taken into account when arranging any attendance.
