Launch of a public consultation on
proposals for a better benefits system
by the Commission on Social Security led by Experts by Experience
12 August 2020 – 7pm to 8.30pm
Everyone knows current welfare benefits are failing, but what would be a better approach?
The Commission on Social Security is a project set up to find out how to improve the social security/benefits system.
The project is led by Experts by Experience. All the Commissioners have lived experience of benefits.
The Commissioners come from a range of user led organisations speaking up for people on benefits and Deaf and Disabled people.
Last year the Commission issued a Call for Solutions asking for suggestions for a better system. There were over 1,000 responses.
The Commission has now identified 8 ideas and is launching a public consultation to see what people think of them.
The online event will:
- Unveil the Commission’s proposals
- Explain how you can have your say
- Provide information about getting involved in the consultation
- Have British Sign Language interpretation and live subtitles
To join the event please register here and further details will then be sent to you nearer the time.
Is anyone allowed to register for this online event? I attended one of the workshops, so received an e-mail invitation. But I have been asked by members of Unite Community Norfolk if this can be shared? We have recently had some younger members, who have amended & updated our social media profile & it’s getting a lot of hits.
