Conclusion
We note criticism levied about sanctions in the Universal Credit system, and we are particularly concerned that sanctions do not foster a positive atmosphere for people when they are receiving Universal Credit and looking for a job. Despite this, we note the DWPs analysis that found that the risk of sanctions encouraged people to search for work.
