What makes work search reviews effective?
Source: gov.uk (2025-02-25)

This synthesis report presents the findings from qualitative research by the Department for Work and Pensions aiming to understand what are the necessary components of work search review meetings (WSRs) for them to be considered effective from the perspective of work coaches and claimants.

Work search review meetings (WSRs) are mandatory meetings between work coaches and claimants as part of the conditionality requirements for receiving Universal Credit (UC). There is comprehensive prior evidence that WSRs reduce the time spent on benefit but there is an evidence gap around the reasons why WSRs are effective and whether this holds true under the modern UC regime.

This synthesis report brings together findings from strands of research investigating what makes WSRs successful in a UC setting.

The research included:
- a literature review of national and international evidence
- a Theory of Change and COM-B model
- observations of WSR meetings
- primary qualitative research involving in-depth interviews with claimants and work coaches
- case studies of face-to-face, video, and telephone WSRs
Overall, an effective WSR meeting relies on good rapport and a tailored approach from the work coach, taking into account the claimant’s barriers, skills, motivation and aspiration, and providing support in a positive and encouraging manner, while also challenging the claimant’s beliefs about what they can achieve.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Drain Doctor Bradford will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.

The Environmental Indicator Framework (EIF) is a comprehensive set of indicators describing environmental change.

The Environmental Indicator Framework (EIF) consists of 66 indicators that describe environmental change in relation to the 10 goals of the Environmental Improvement Plan (EIP) (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/environmental-improvement-plan). The framework supports the statutory cycle of monitoring, planning and reporting on progress in improving the environment as established by the Environment Act.

The indicators cover natural capital assets (for example, land, freshwater, air and seas) and together they show the condition of these assets, the pressures acting upon them and the provision of services or benefits they provide.

Reforming the Right to Buy
Source: gov.uk (2025-07-02)

This consultation seeks views on how the Right to Buy should be reformed to deliver a fairer, better value and more sustainable scheme where longstanding tenants can buy their own homes but, crucially, where councils can replace those homes.

Right to Buy is an integral way for social tenants to get on the property ladder; many of whom may not otherwise be able to access home ownership.

However, reform of Right to Buy is essential to better protect much-needed social housing stock, boost council capacity and build more social homes than we lose, supporting the government’s commitment to deliver the biggest increase in social and affordable housebuilding in a generation.

The consultation follows the reduction in maximum Right to Buy cash discounts, which was announced at Autumn Budget 2024, and asks for views on:
- the qualifying criteria for tenants
- initial and maximum discounts as a percentage of the property value
- which types of properties should be exempted under the scheme
- whether there should be increased restrictions on properties after sale
- the replacement of homes sold under the Right to Buy
- rules governing the use of Right to Buy receipts and how these could be simplified
The paradox of tolerance: why free speech is essential to combat extremism in Britain
Source: gov.uk (2025-08-17)

An essay written by Dr Claire McGuiggan and Dr Peter D'Lima, part of a series of essays on defending free speech commissioned by Robin Simcox, the former Commissioner for Countering Extremism.

Drawing on Karl Popper’s paradox of tolerance, this essay argues that Britain’s emphasis on tolerance and respect has paradoxically weakened society’s ability to challenge extremist views.

The authors contend that free speech is essential for countering extremism, as it provides the mechanism to challenge, question and reject intolerant ideologies whilst maintaining democratic values.

These essays have been independently commissioned. The views and opinions expressed are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the UK Government or the Commission for Countering Extremism.

These essays were commissioned to present a diverse range of perspectives from authors with contrasting or conflicting opinions on this issue. They are provided to contribute to this vital discussion and do not imply agreement or endorsement by any associated organisations or individuals.

We, the undersigned, commit to honour the Armed Forces Covenant and support the Armed Forces Community. We recognise the value Serving Personnel, both Regular and Reservists, Veterans and military families contribute to our business and our country.

The Armed Forces Covenant

An enduring covenant between the people of the United Kingdom, Her Majesty’s Government and all those who serve or have served in the Armed Forces of the Crown and their families

The first duty of Government is the defence of the realm. Our Armed Forces fulfil that responsibility on behalf of the Government, sacrificing some civilian freedoms, facing danger and, sometimes, suffering serious injury or death as a result of their duty. Families also play a vital role in supporting the operational effectiveness of our Armed Forces. In return, the whole nation has a moral obligation to the members of the Naval Service, the Army and the Royal Air Force, together with their families. They deserve our respect and support, and fair treatment.

Those who serve in the Armed Forces, whether Regular or Reserve, those who have served in the past, and their families, should face no disadvantage compared to other citizens in the provision of public and commercial services. Special consideration is appropriate in some cases, especially for those who have given most such as the injured and the bereaved.

This obligation involves the whole of society: it includes voluntary and charitable bodies, private organisations, and the actions of individuals in supporting the Armed Forces. Recognising those who have performed military duty unites the country and demonstrates the value of their contribution. This has no greater expression than in upholding this Covenant.

Section 1: Principles of the Armed Forces Corporate Covenant

1.1 We Quanta Training Limited will endeavour in our business dealings to uphold the key principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, which are:
- no member of the Armed Forces Community should face disadvantage in the provision of public and commercial services compared to any other citizen;
- and in some circumstances that special treatment may be appropriate especially for the injured or bereaved.
Section 2: Demonstrating our commitment

2.1 Quanta Training Limited recognises the value serving personnel, reservists, veterans and military families bring to our business. We will seek to uphold the principles of the Armed Forces Covenant, by pledging to the following:
- UK Service Veterans And Leavers
- UK Service Spouses And Partners
- Flexible Leave For Spouses
- UK Reservists
- UK Cadets
- Armed Forces Day
- Reserve Forces Day
- Discounts
2.2 We will publicise these commitments through our literature and/or on our website, setting out how we will seek to honour them and inviting feedback from the Service community and our customers on how we are doing.

Non-compliant attitudes and the role of fairness and trust
Source: gov.uk (2025-05-29)

Findings from qualitative research with individuals and small business exploring non-compliant attitudes and the role of trust and fairness in HMRC.

HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) commissioned Yonder Consulting to undertake research on trust in HMRC, perceptions of fairness, and the extent to which these perceptions influence attitudes towards compliance. The research focused on individuals and small businesses who could accept others not complying with their tax obligations in certain circumstances (‘attitudinally non-compliant’ taxpayers).

The aims of the research were to understand:

perceptions of HMRC’s fairness among individuals and small businesses defined as attitudinally non-compliant, including factors which create or undermine fairness, and how these perceptions influence trust

trust in HMRC in this audience, the factors which create or undermine it, and its relationship with compliance attitudes

the extent to which fairness and trust matter in shaping attitudes towards compliance in this audience

The research consisted of 42 online interviews with a mix of individuals and small businesses. Interviews were conducted between March and May 2021.

The views in this report are the authors’ own and do not necessarily reflect those of HMRC.
