<p>The Department for Work and Pensions is the biggest Government department with
around 22 million citizens depending on our services on a daily basis. However, we
are conscious that many people who want information about the services and support
we provide won’t be aware of the different Government channels they can use to access
that information, or may not have easy access to them. Equally, it is right that we
advertise our services widely so that, should people need urgent support, they will
have a level of awareness about where they can find that help and what that support
might look like. Actively trying to reach the widest possible audience around the
country is both necessary and responsible. This is in line with other Government departments.</p><p

advertising and marketing in 2019-20 is £13,332,000. This budget is constantly under
review as we need to be flexible, ensure best value for money for the taxpayer and
meet our responsibility to communicate Government policies effectively.</p><p /><p
