Local delivery of employment support

Inquiry

The government wants to get Britain working again, including by reducing rates of economic inactivity, especially among young people and disabled people. To this end, it is investing £3.5 billion in employment support and devolving more power over this policy area to Strategic Authorities.

The Committee has launched an inquiry to explore the complicated landscape of employment support. It is particularly interested in the risks and opportunities arising from devolution and how local delivery can best respond to the needs of different places and groups.

You can submit evidence until 23:59 on 31 August 2026.
