Recommendation 14

In response to our recommendation, on the day of our evidence session in October 2025, the Department published the first in a new series of quarterly labour market insights. The Department explained that this publication provided information at jobcentre district level and local authority level, which allowed it to monitor progress outcomes across the different conditionality groups of Universal Credit.21 However, we note that the publication does not give data on individual jobcentres, and provides no information on work coach numbers.
