<p /> <p>As part of our planning process we carry out a thorough internal and external
assessment to ensure that Universal Credit can be rolled out safely and securely,
and a strong delivery model exists between the department and local partners.</p><p>For
example, internal delivery milestones must be checked and agreed to ensure that Jobcentres
and their staff are ready to roll out Universal Credit. As part of this process external
delivery partners will need to sign and agree a Delivery Partnership Agreement (DPA)
to outline what services they will provide and to make available funded support for
those who need extra help. In addition local authorities will need to sign and agree
a Readiness Certificate to confirm that they are ready to roll out Universal Credit.</p>
