Universal Credit provides an unprecedented level of personalised support, which is tailored and managed through Work Coaches. Unlike the legacy system Universal Credit Work Coaches know each person\u2019s case and have more tools than ever before to help people prepare for work and get a job.<\/p>
<\/strong><\/p> The Universal Credit childcare costs policy aligns with the wider government childcare offer, which includes free childcare hours and tax free childcare. We are removing barriers to work by ensuring the childcare offers available eases the financial burden for parents.<\/p> <\/p> In Universal Credit, we test and adapt the service as we go along, to ensure support is tailored accordingly for each individual, including parents. We have recently undertaken a series of nation roadshows for operational colleagues to promote both the childcare costs offer under Universal Credit and the wider government\u2019s childcare offer. We continue to work with other government departments to ensure parents have the information they need to make the best childcare choice for their family.<\/p> <\/p>"}
