The overall policy to restrict Universal Credit support for children to two children or qualifying young persons was introduced by the Welfare Reform and Work Act 2016. The Government assessed the impact on equality of the policies introduced by that Act at the time, thus meeting its obligations under the Public Sector Equality Duty.

The existing policy already takes account of the individual circumstances for each Jobseeker\u2019s Allowance claimant when deciding if it is reasonable to issue a Jobseeker\u2019s Direction. Before issuing a Jobseeker\u2019s Direction we consider if the claimant has the skills and means to undertake the activity including whether they have access to the internet or not.<\/p>
<\/p>
To demonstrate positive behaviours towards finding employment all Jobseeker\u2019s Allowance claimants are asked to undertake a series of activities from the onset of their claim. This includes the expectation that all claimants will create an email account to be used for employment purposes. For the majority of claimants creating an email account will be an important part of improving their employment prospects, however we recognise for some claimants it may not be reasonable to expect this to happen.<\/p>
