<p /> <p>The Jobseekers (Back to Work Schemes) Act 2013, required the Secretary of
State to appoint an independent person to prepare a report on the operation of sanctions
validated by the legislation. The terms of reference reflect this requirement.</p><p>However,
the Government Response to the Oakley Review goes wider than the terms of reference.
For example, we are reviewing all claimant communications and sanctions processes,
not only for those Jobseekers Allowance claimants who come under the remit of the
Report, but all JSA claimants and also all Employment Support Allowance claimants.</p>
