Join us for our next virtual policy session on Thursday 22nd of October from 7pm, where we will discussing some of the recent government policies on workers, welfare and financial stability.
"As Work and Pensions Secretary, my role is to support people throughout their lives, from helping with childcare costs to supporting low income workers, or those who have lost their jobs to get back into work, to providing for those in their retirement and also helping to educate people about the importance of saving for later life.” Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, The Rt Hon Thérèse Coffey MP
Our key questions for discussion will be:
- In what ways has the Government’s response to COVID-19 affected your attitude to welfare?
- How should Government determine the appropriate level of spending on benefits at both an individual and national level?
- What barriers exist to in-work progression for low-income workers, including parents (and mothers in particular) and how might Government help to break these down?
- How might Government better support in-work progression?
- How might Government better promote financial security and stability?
The meeting will be run via Zoom, for which you will receive registration details for our regular association updates. As always, our key points will be shared with the Conservative Policy Forum.
Looking forward to an interesting and enriching discussion!
