Minutes:
Cabinet heard representations from Sue Plain, UNISON with regard to this item. She requested that research should consider the impact on gender, in the context that women are more likely to work part time or be on a zero hours contract.
It was also requested that future research should also involve contact with councillors, Members of Parliament and the Citizen Advice Bureau who would have detailed knowledge and experiences from their case load.
RESOLVED:
That the work being undertaken to commission independent social research into the impact of Universal Credit (UC) “full service” roll-out among affected social housing tenants in Southwark – predominantly council tenants be noted.
