As a newly formed Government we will need time to review and consider the Ombudsman\u2019s report along with the evidence provided during the investigation.<\/p>
<\/p>
This Government respects the work of the Ombudsman. Now the election has concluded we need to consider the views that have been expressed on all sides.<\/p>
<\/p>
The issues outlined in the report are significant and complex, as such they require serious deliberation. Once this work has been undertaken, the Government/we will be in a position to outline its approach.<\/p>"}

The Department understands the negative effects of unemployment can be particularly pronounced for young people and can have longstanding implications on their future earnings potential and life chances. This is why DWP have a particular focus on ensuring young people are supported into employment, whilst also recognising their needs will vary depending on where they live and their own individual circumstances. Existing operations will be reviewed in line with the new government\u2019s priorities.<\/p>
The Governments Back to Work Plan is critical to growing the economy. This includes implementing a new national jobs and career service to help get more people into work alongside a Youth Guarantee, meaning more quality opportunities for training, an apprenticeship or help to find work for all young people aged 18-21 years old, to prevent them becoming excluded from the world of work at a young age.<\/p>
DWP currently provides young people aged 16-24 with labour market support through an extensive range of interventions at a national and local level. This includes flexible provision driven by local need, nationwide employment programmes and support delivered by work coaches based in our Jobcentres and in local communities working alongside partners.<\/p>"}

We have interpreted \u2018sustainability\u2019 to mean the viability of Jobcentres in rural areas.<\/p>
<\/p>
DWP has a network of 634 established Jobcentres across the UK. The location of Jobcentres needs to balance customer demand, the range of services it needs to offer and operational efficiency.<\/p>
<\/p>
If a Jobcentre is relocated, the Department fully assesses the likely impact, including completion of an Equality Assessment.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p>We will be looking to work with a range of partners, including local areas to further develop and deliver our manifesto commitments which will inform wider thinking on the delivery of employment support.<\/p>"}
